About This Product
Releasing a sphere into the row lets students see momentum and energy carried through a series of collisions. Watching the swing die away over time opens a discussion of energy dissipation. Educational Instrument can arrange export supply of the Newton’s Cradle Model to Peru, Uzbekistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bahamas, Djibouti and Niger.
