One little push and the Slinky will flip down the stairs.

∙ 13y agoA slinky can "walk" down stairs due to the transfer of energy from the top of the stairs to the bottom. As the top of the slinky is released, gravity pulls it down, causing a wave of compression and expansion that propels the slinky downwards step by step.
A slinky goes down the stairs by the force of gravity pulling it downwards. As one end of the slinky begins to descend, this creates a wave-like motion that propels the rest of the slinky down the stairs in a cascading fashion. The tension in the coils helps to maintain its structure as it moves.
When a slinky falls down the stairs, the main forces acting on it are gravity pulling it downward and tension in the coil resisting the stretching of the slinky due to its own weight. Friction between the slinky and the stairs also plays a role in slowing down the slinky's descent.
The slinky has kinetic energy as it moves down the stairs due to its motion. This kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy.
A slinky would have difficulty going upstairs because its movement relies on gravity and a smooth, continuous surface to travel on. The steps of the stairs disrupt the slinky's ability to maintain its shape and movement, causing it to become tangled or stuck.
To make a slinky walk, hold one end of the slinky and let the other end dangle. Gently move your hand up and down so that the slinky "walks" down your hand in a wave-like motion. The momentum of the slinky moving down your hand causes it to walk.

A slinky (of the correct size) can walk down the stairs.

easy throw it down the stairs the bend and stech bend strecth you should try it. Next editor: If the "improve question" option were available: "How do Slinkys go down stairs?"
we wouldn't have the amazement of watching it fall down the stairs

Well, in my opinion it has got worse :/ i tried to push it down the stairs but it snapped ...
You put it in walking position, then you blow on it as hard as you can. It'll walk in a jiffy then!
well, i will tell two tricks. the first one i call the mid-flip. Hold the top and bottom sides of the slinky, pull the top side. In mid-pull let go of the slinky and possibly 5 milliseconds after try to catch the slinky. And number two, is call the boomerang. Hold the bottom of the slinky throw or push the top away from you. (Don't let go!) if done correctly the slinky will pull back to you.
Stairs go up and come down as well.
