Newton’s cradle was used to demonstrate the principles of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. When a sphere at the end is lifted and released, it strikes the stationery spheres in the middle and creates a force that pushes the last sphere outward. That sphere then swings back and strikes the stationery spheres, repeating the effect in the opposite direction. The device was designed by French scientist Edme Mariotte and named after Sir Isaac Newton.
