Question

Explain why the Newton’s Cradle device eventually comes to rest. Justify your answer with your Knowledge of Energy (pls mark Brainliest)

Answer 1

The balls in a Newton's cradle hit each other in a series of elastic collisions, transferring the energy of Ball One through the line on to Ball Five, losing no energy along the way.

Friction takes away the system of energy, slowly bringing the balls to a standstill as the friction becomes greater and greater.

Answer 2

It would keep going if it weren’t for friction but since we are in the real world friction eventually stops it
