Slinky Lab

Here are the questions for your homoework. This is due Friday.

1. If you change how fast you shake the slinky, how it is affected?
2. How did distance affect the intensity of the shake of the slinky? How about the side to side distance of the slinky?
3. If you change how hard you shake the slinky, how it is affected?
4. How can you relate the slinky to an earthquake?
5. Is the slinky more like a P wave or an S wave? Why?
6. Why did we do three trials of each distance?
WHEN FINISHED do the Math Analyzing Data on page 56 of the Inside Earth book.
