1N30.10 - Newton's Cradle
- Description
This demonstration illustrates mechanical energy conservation in collisions. The number of balls that move is equal to the number of balls released, which shows the energy is conserved.
- Equipment
- Newton cradle
- How to assemble and operate
- 1. Lift chosen number of balls away from remaining balls at rest, ensuring strings are tight
- 2. Release lifted balls, observe collision
