    Newton's Cradle is a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy through a series of solid steel balls suspended in a line that are set into motion. The document describes testing criteria involving pulling back one or more steel balls at varying angles and releasing them to test how the balls at the ends of the cradle bounce in response. The results showed that the end balls bounced alternately for short durations when one or two balls were pulled back and released, and bounced simultaneously when balls were pulled back on both sides.

    Testing Criteria Results (5pts each)


    Pull one marble back to a 45 deg. angle and Each marbles at the two ends bounce
    release (alternatingly) for a short duration

    Pull two marbles back to a 45 deg. angle and The two marbles at each end bounce
    release alternatingly for a very short duration

    Pull one marble back on both sides to a 45 Each marble at the two ends bounce at
    deg. angle and release the same time for a short duration

    Pull two marbles back on both sides to a 45 The two marbles at the two ends bounce
    deg. angle and release at the same time for a short duration

    Pull one marble back to roughly 80 deg. 4 bounces, then stops (and more force
    angle and release added)

    Pull one marble back on both sides to roughly They bounce just like the previous similar
    80 deg. angle and release test, but with more force
