The behaviour of the pendulum follows from the conservation of momentum and energy only in the case of two pedula. Indeed, if there are r pendula.. An additional condition for the observed outcome is that a shock wave has to propagate dispersionfree through the chain.
Newton's cradle has been a popular desk toy since being invented, named and produced in 1967 by English actor Simon Prebble. At first, a wood cradle version was sold by Harrods of London and later a chrome design was created by the sculptor and future film director Richard Loncraine.
In pedagogic settings, Newton's cradle is sometimes used to present the concept of "action-reaction" (Newton's third law), with the words said to the cadence of the clacking pendulums as they execute a single cycle of swinging and clacking oscillation. This is not a very clear presentation of action-reaction. In fact, for those who have mastered high school physics the conservation laws can be easily derived from Newton's second and third laws.
The largest Newton's cradle in the world was designed by Chris Boden and is owned by The Geek Group in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It is on public display and is used for science and technology demonstrations. It consists of a set of 20 matched Bowling balls each with a weight of 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms). These are suspended from cables from metal trusses in the ceiling. The cables have a length of 20 feet (6.1m) and the balls hang 3 feet (1m) off the floor.

What was the cradle used for in the gold rush?
The cradle separates dirt, clay and gravel from gold. As the miner rocks the cradle, water washers threw the dirt, separating out the gold. Cradling required at least two men to work. The cradle had a grate and a sieve. The dirt and sediment to be sifted through was emptied onto the grate in the cradle. The cradle was rocked quickly back and forth (in the action of a cradle) while water was poured over the sediment to help work it through. The grate stopped coarser stones from going through, while the fine material was sifted out the other end. The gold would be left behind for easy collection.
When was The Cradle created?
The Cradle was created in 2010.
What is the cradle called when the flyer does a twist?
A twist cradle
What method did Edward Hargraves use to find gold in Bathurst?
Edward Hargraves is credited with introducing the cradle as a means for finding gold in Australia. This was a method he had seen used on the Californian goldfields. Cradling involved a wooden box loosely resembling a cradle. The cradle was used for sifting through larger amounts of sediment to find gold, and was popular from the early times of the goldrushes. It required at least two men to work. The cradle had a grate and a sieve. The dirt and sediment to be sifted through was emptied onto the grate in the cradle. The cradle was rocked quickly back and forth (in the action of a cradle) while water was poured over the sediment to help work it through. The grate stopped coarser stones from going through, while the fine material was sifted out the other end. The gold would be left behind for easy collection.
What was the Cradle of the Confederacy?
The city of Montgomery was called the Cradle of the Confederacy.
Are there picture of Isaac Newton inventions?
yes, like the newtons cradle
How is the law of conseervation of energy illustrated by newtons cradle?
Newton's cradle conserves energy but converts it from potential to kinetic energy and vice versa.
What does a newtons cradle measure?
It doesn't actually measure anything. It does, however, demonstrate conservation of momentum.
What are examples of things that move back n forth?
Pendulum, yoyo, Newtons Cradle, swing...
Where can I find the steel balls item that are attached to a string and they swing from an aframe type stand?
Google Newtons Cradle
Does the Nintendo 3DS charging cradle plug into an outlet?
Yes. For the cradle to work, you must plug the 3DS charger into the cradle.
Why was Isaac newton famous for math?
i am not positive but i think he made the formula for finding how many degrees is in a shape he also made the Newtons Cradle in sceince
What kind of work is done when a force opposes an object's motion watts newtons or molecular?
The answer is newtons
What if you pull two pendulums of opposite ends from newtons cradle?
It would also depend on how many pendulums you had, if the regular, 4, the same would happen to the other side.
Do newtons laws work for outer space?
NO
Is newtons cradle an example of perpetual montion machine?
No, Newton's Cradle is not an example of a perpetual motion machine. A perpetual motion machine hypothetically runs forever via some external, infinite power source (or, alternatively, it simply requires no additional momentum to continue). However, a Newton's Cradle does not continue forever: its energy slowly falls over time, making it non-perpetual.
What units are work measured in?
Joules or newtons*meters
