Explanation of Newton's Cradle - Succeed in Understanding Physics: School for Champions ... Newton's Cradle is a clever device that not only demonstrates a pendulum, but also shows the Laws of Conservation of Momentum and Energy. Friction and damping effects are also observed. This device is often used as a toy to amuse people.
