No because the center of mass of the slinky is still moving downwards as the top is progressively going downwards towards the bottom. So the slinky is still moving, even if the bottom is staying still. So yes, it is falling.

the center of the gravity of the slinky still follow the rule of gravity. the top of the slinky is accelerated initially with twice the weight of the entire slinky, and no one was complaining about gravity forcing the top portion with double the harshness... Gravity is a F**KING weak dweeb anyways. The entire planet's mass pulling on me can be countered by simply jumping. You know how ridiculous powerful the force of 1 unit of electric charge on another unit of electric charge? That's why we have names like "one absolute unit" we can unify All other forces in the universe, yes even the one Luke used to murder 10 million people in one go, under one equation (E=mc2 ? no idea, too dumb and didn't study), except for Gravity, because it is such a lame weak-a** sauce.

Bottom slinky:floating Top slinky:fall

What nobody mentions here is that the center of mass of the slinky still falls at 9.8 m/s2 (i.e. it is free falling with the acceleration of gravity), which means that, to compensate for the bottom coils not falling, the top coils are falling much faster than what they would if you just cut the top few coils and dropped them alone. An the reason is simple: The same tension that is pulling up on the bottom coils cancelling the force of gravity, is pulling down on the top coils adding to the force of gravity.

In colloquial usage, the word "pistol" is often used to describe any type of handgun, inclusive of revolvers (which have a single barrel and a separate cylinder housing multiple chambers) and the pocket-sized derringers (which are often multi-barrelled).

It's crazy because people actually believe there's no gravity. But if there was no gravity then how would we all exist?

Gravity: "I am the law!" Slinky: " im about to end this mans whole career!

A better way of looking at is is that the rings up above are pulling up on them at an equal force to gravity. To explain further, the tension on the spring is gravity and the anchor is at the top, so at rest the tension is balanced with the force of gravity. When released, the anchor falls but when it does the tension is released which pulls up on the rest at the same speed as gravity (because it was all at equilibrium), and won’t fall until that tension is released. This is why the bottom remains stationary.

This is actually an overlooked error in the matrix that never got fixed

For those of you who dont know, Mechanical engineer Richard James invented the Slinky by accident. In 1943, he was working to devise springs that could keep sensitive ship equipment steady at sea. After accidentally knocking some samples off a shelf, he watched in amazement as they gracefully “walked” down instead of falling.

I'm amazed by this, tension is over powering gravity, the energy transfer is easily done in an equation but even understanding the physics behind this still boggles me.

Someone should make an extremely long slinky that stretches over the height of an entire building but just above the ground. They could also have like a transparent tube inside of which they can drop the slinky so it can support it instead of collapsing. We'd be able to see it float for at least 10 seconds like magic!

In one of my college physics classes, the professor had a demonstrator showing how linear and rotational motion are coupled in a spring. It was a very long/light spring (essentially a slinky) suspended from the top and with a weight at the bottom. The weight had spikes coming out of it sideways to make easy to see it rotate. He pulled the weight down and we watched bounce up and down, then transition to rotation until the weight was oscillating CW/CCW and then transition back. That was cool until we had to explain it!

@martyguild

2 жыл бұрын

It's called a Wilberforce pendulum... Highly recommend looking into it for anyone else The weights are to give it a significant moment of inertia, not for sight. If you can get the moment just perfect (such that the rotational frequency equals the natural oscillating frequency of the spring), the system can achieve a resonance that switches between pure rotation and pure vertical oscillation.

@@maple22moose44 indeed they did, but it's not correct. The Wilberforce pendulum, which is what they described, needs to have a mass with an exaggerated moment of inertia in order for the system to work properly. This is accomplished with those "spikes." They are not for visual purpose. Source: I own one.
