Once you work toward a goal, your inertia moves you toward success.
izBuy Newton s Cradle consists of several metal balls (usually 5) suspended from a arch rack by wires,
There are two wires attached to each ball to keep the pendulum motion in one plane.
Miracle Starts!
Drag one ball up
When an end ball (ball a) is pulled up and let go, it swings down as a pendulum and hits the next ball.
Two or more balls
If two or more balls are pulled up and let go at the same time, the
collision will result in the same number of balls will be propelled
forward on the other end.
Slowly slows down
Fatures and Requirements
There are several requirements where izBuy paid much attention to
to make sure it fuctions properly:
--Spherical balls are used because their contact is approximat a point
--Hard metal balls-such as made of hardened steel-
are used to minimize losses in energy due to elastic distortions.
