Smithsonian Newtons Cradle
Bring physics to life with the Smithsonian Newton’s Cradle, a classic science demonstration tool that visually explains Newton’s Third Law of Motion, momentum and energy transfer. When one or more steel balls are lifted and released, the energy moves cleanly through the row, causing the ball on the opposite end
