The Source Newton's Cradle Newton's Cradle

Five chrome-plated balls are each hanging from two threads. If you pull the first ball off balance and let it go, it will stop when it hits the second ball, and the last ball will be ejected with the same momentum as the first ball.



At first glance, Newton's cradle looks like a complex pendulum, but it is much more: it is a testing ground for two fundamental laws of physics, the laws of conservation of energy and momentum. Find its secret or simply enjoy the simplicity with which the laws of physics are manifested.

Five chrome-plated balls are each hanging from two strings. If you pull the first ball off balance and let it go, it will stop as soon as it hits the second ball, and the latter will be ejected with the same momentum as the first. If you pull two balls, then two balls will be ejected. This behavior is due to the physical laws of conservation of energy and momentum.

It stands out because:

• This is an exquisite decorative toy that fascinates with its simplicity.


• With chrome-plated balls and mesh


• It is an ideal gift for friends and yourself.


• Demonstrates Newton's third law
