Newton's Cradle is a classic desk toy that demonstrates the principles of physics, specifically the conservation of momentum and energy. It consists of a series of identical metal balls suspended in a straight line by thin wires or rods, so that each ball is in contact with the next. When one ball at the end is lifted and released, it strikes the stationary balls, transmitting a force through the series that pushes the last ball upward. This creates a visual demonstration of energy transfer and momentum conservation.
