Yeah... anyway here it goes. I was just sitting around playing with a genuine newton's cradle I got for five bucks...<br />First I just picked up one metal ball<br />-than two, than I started to get fancy with...<br />I dropped two balls simutaneously from the same hieght and the energy was transfored to two other balls. (I excluded the fifth ball as so the number of balls on each side would be even)<br />Later on I dropped a(1) ball from a taller height , but only one ball moved on the other end. No matter how much force and speed I added only won ball moved. <br /><font color="orange"><br />?How can it be that only only one ball moves when the force of that one is greater than the force of the combined two yet it was capable of moving two balls?<font color="white"><br /><br />I checked to see if the two balls were not leaving their position simultaneously, but no matter what I did the out come was the same. Does mass play a bigger role than thought in the transfer of energy.</font></font> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div>________________________________________ <br /></div><div><ul><li><font color="#008000"><em>your move...</em></font></li></ul></div> </div>
