Newtons Cradle

Newton's Cradle is a mesmerizing display of physics, where five metal balls suspended from strings swing and collide in perfect harmony. The balls are carefully balanced to create a delicate equilibrium, allowing them to oscillate freely as they exchange energy with each other. With every collision, the balls transfer momentum, generating a smooth, rhythmic motion that seems almost hypnotic. As the balls swing through their orbits, they appear to be suspended in mid-air, defying gravity and creating an illusion of weightlessness. The cradle's beauty lies not only in its simplicity but also in its ability to demonstrate fundamental laws of physics in a captivating way.
