How was the slinky invented?
The slinky was invented by mistake. Richard James dropped a spring on the floor and it began to move by itself. Thus the slinky was born!
How can a slinky toy demonstrate the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave?
If you hold the ends of a slinky toy so that it is stretched out horizontally you can demonstrate excitations of both transverse and longitudinal waves. If you move one end of the slinky up and down in a periodic fashion you will see transverse waves. If you move one end of the slinky in and out along the horizontal direction that it is stretched out in, you will excite longitudinal waves.
Why do the particles move faster in a vacuum?
Particles do not move faster in a vacuum. Particles move faster when the temperature increases.
Can solid particles move?
solid particles cannot move.
What happends to a motion of a particle as a wave passes through a medium?
The particle will move briefly, then get back to its starting point. The wave moves ahead, the individual particles don't.The particle will move briefly, then get back to its starting point.

What is alongitudinalwave?
Longitudinal wave: is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves. Suppose that a slinky is stretched out in a horizontal direction across the classroom and that a pulse is introduced into the slinky on the left end by vibrating the first coil left and right.

How does the slinky toy believe as you move it up and down?
The slinky toy is a spring. As you move it up and down the coils in the spring will cause it to become longer, then shorter.
What scientific principle allows a slinky to move?
The impetus of gravity. They can only move down-hill.

How do particles move when they are heated?
Particles move faster when they are heated.
How do the particles move in liquids?
The particles in liquid move freely.
Toys that start with a S?

What particles move the most?
the particles that move the most is sugar
Why do the particles move faster in a vacuum?
Particles do not move faster in a vacuum. Particles move faster when the temperature increases.
Can solid particles move?
solid particles cannot move.
Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
