    Newton's Cradle is an apparatus consisting of a series of metal balls suspended in a line from a frame. When one ball is pulled back and released, it strikes the first ball in the line, transferring its momentum down the line of balls. The last ball swings out and strikes the next ball, demonstrating the law of conservation of momentum. The document describes testing criteria involving pulling back one or two marbles at angles of 45 or 80 degrees and observing the resulting bounce patterns, which validate Newton's laws of motion.
