The energy a slinky uses?
Kinetic!
What kind of energy does a slinky have?
energy that is stored in the spring when it is compressed.energy is stored in the spring when it is stretched.
Why are slinkys called slinkys?
They make a slinky type of movement.
How does a slinky work?
The Slinky, like all objects, tends to resist change in its motion. Because of this inertia, if it were placed at the top of the stairs it would stay at rest without moving at all. At this point it has potential or stored energy. But once it is started down the stairs and gravity affects it, the potential energy is converted to the energy of motion or kinetic energy and the Slinky gracefully tumbles coil by coil down the stairs.The physical properties of the slinky determine how quickly it moves under the influence of gravity. Although its movement may look simple, from a scientific point of view the motion is quite complex. As the slinky moves down the steps, energy is transferred along its length in a longitudinal or compressional wave, which resembles a sound wave that travels through a substance by transferring a pulse of energy to the next molecule. How quickly the wave moves depends on the spring constant and the mass of the metal. Other factors, such as the length of the slinky, the diameter of the coils and the height of the step must be considered to completely understand why a slinky moves as it does.
What is the medium of a slinky?
Slinky coils
What form of energy is a slinky?

The energy of visible light transported by electromagnetic waves are what type of waves?
electromagnetic waves are longitudinal (like a slinky).
What is the purpose of slinky lab?
The purpose of the slinky lab is to see how waves reflect, refract, and lose and gain energy.
What type of wave would a slinky represent?
A slinky can transfer both longitudinal and transverse waves.
What kind of energy does a slinky have?

Which slinky will go faster a slinky jr or a slinky?
I think that the Slinky original is the best. It's bigger than the Slinky Jr. and will most likely go faster! BTW, I LOVE Slinky! Chow, ;)
What is the medium of a slinky?
Slinky coils
