Photographic Print : Newtons cradle
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Newtons cradle
Newtons cradle. Computer illustration of a device known as Newtons cradle. It consists of a set of balls resting against one another that are free to swing from the bar (not seen) they hang from. Here, one of the balls has been sent swinging towards the others. The kinetic energy with which it strikes the first ball will be transferred from ball to ball, finally propelling the last ball away from the others. As this ball swings upwards, its kinetic energy becomes potential energy. The opposite energy transfer occurs as gravity pulls the ball back down to strike the others. As the balls move, energy is lost to friction until they come to rest

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer illustration showcases Newton's Cradle, a fascinating device that demonstrates the principles of energy transfer and motion. The image features a set of round balls resting against each other, suspended from an unseen bar. In this particular moment frozen in time, one ball has been sent swinging towards the others. As it collides with the first ball, its kinetic energy is transferred through each subsequent ball until it propels the last one away from the rest. This exchange of energy is a mesmerizing display of physics in action. As the final ball swings upwards, its kinetic energy transforms into potential energy. However, gravity soon takes over and pulls the last ball back down to strike its counterparts once again. Throughout this continuous cycle of movement and impact, some amount of energy is lost due to friction until all balls eventually come to rest. This artwork not only captures the beauty and elegance of Newton's Cradle but also serves as a reminder of how fundamental laws govern our physical world. It highlights concepts such as force, motion, kinetic and potential energies while showcasing mechanics at play. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this classical piece that transcends time and remains an enduring symbol for understanding basic principles in physics.
