INTRODUCTION
➢WHAT IS Newtons Cradle? S
Newton's Cradle is a classic physics
demonstration that beautifully illustrates the
principles of conservation of momentum and
energy. It consists of a series of identical metal
balls suspended in a row. When one ball is
lifted and released, it swings down and collides
with the stationary balls at the other end.
Baseline Measurements:
i.
a. Lift one ball to a certain height and release it.
b. Use a stopwatch to measure the time taken for the ball to swing back and
forth for 10 complete oscillations.
c. Record the time and calculate the average time for one oscillation.
Modification (Optional): f
a. Add small weights to one or more balls to change their mass.
b. Repeat the measurements with the modified Newton's Cradle.
Observations:
a. Record the number of balls involved in the collision.
r
b. Note any changes in the motion of the system with and without modifications.
c. Observe the height to which the last ball swings.
