🔬 Discover the Science Behind Newton's Cradle
Newton's Cradle is one of the most recognisable demonstrations of classical mechanics.
Each ball is suspended from the frame by strings of equal length. When you pull back and release a ball, it swings forward and collides with the others.
The impact transfers momentum and energy through the stationary balls, causing the ball at the opposite end to swing outward. As it swings back, the process repeats, creating the cradle's famous rhythmic motion.
The movement gradually slows because some energy is lost through friction, air resistance and sound, making this a fascinating real-world demonstration of physics.
