A Newton Cradle works by lifting the swinging sphere on the end and letting go resulting in a chain reaction of each swing sphere hitting each other until the last swinging sphere on the opposite side comes back and the swing reverses the force test travels of the swinging spheres.

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...
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.
What is that thing that has five metal balls on strings and you pull one on the end out then let it go and the other end swings out then it comes back in and the other end swings out and so on?
Sounds like you are talking about a 'Newtons Cradle'.
What is the difference in 200 newtons and 20 newtons?
180 Newtons.
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.
Why are Newtons called Newtons?
Because they are proven facts that cannot be broken

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
Why are newtons laws called laws?

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

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.
Is there another word for newtons cradle?
it has silver balls that swing back and forth they are very heavy
What are some funny facts about the scientific revolution?
Marie Curie and Louis Pasture had sex on Sir Isaac newtons desk..
