This is not just true of slinkies – if you release a steel rod from the top, the top really starts falling before the bottom. If you hit a tennis ball with a racket, a wave has to travel from the strings to your hand before you feel it – and the ball is well on its way to the net by this time. If you hit a golf ball, the ball is well on its way to the hole before you can feel it. Rigid bodies aren’t truly rigid and understanding this is essential to understanding the way the world works

This is an excerpt from a video I made 10 years ago – seemed like the perfect thing to show in vertical format. I was unaware Action Labs had recently made a video about the same thing. A regular video should be out Friday/Saturday this week.
Rj sir ke bolne par aya aur yeh wala mast bhi tha…
Kon kon rajwant sir ke kahne pe aya😅
After watching rajwant sir's lecture 😅
Came here after my physics teacher recommended me this video for conceptual clarity.
Whos here after rj sir lecture???
rj sir op
Rj sir ke bolne pe kon aaya😅
rj sir k students attendence lgao
Bro looks like my Spanish teacher
So it stays in air until the top falls
Newton invented gravity in 1665.
People in 1664:

The domino analogy is oddly perfect. 😳
Awesome experiment! Do you know if the same effect hapens if the Slinky has waved shape windings? Like a ball spring.
Greets!
dis so tuff twin

DEREK! Man, I hope you see this. I'm fascinated to know what happens if the opposite is done. Take a spring that has spaces in the helix at equilibrium. Stand it on a surface so that it compresses under its own weight force. Now make the surface disappear. Does the top stay stationary until equilibrium is again reached?
Jb reporting
That is so cool
And what about gravity bruhhh
Nah is just the programmers being lazy
This is cool but your face looks familiar
But…. i- what?! Gravity isn't gravity-ing
It’s defying gravity
It's called Slinkinomics.
