C) Energy is not transferred but reflected

D) The energy is converted into heat

Correct! Wrong!

What causes the swinging balls in Newton's Cradle to eventually stop moving?

A) The force of gravity

B) Energy transfer from the balls to the surrounding air

C) Magnetic forces

D) The force from the supporting string

Correct! Wrong!

In Newton's Cradle, why do the balls not swing indefinitely?

A) Due to the friction in the air

B) Because they are not perfectly elastic

C) Due to the presence of gravitational force

Correct! Wrong!

In a Newton's Cradle, what role does the middle ball play when the first ball is lifted and released?

A) It absorbs the kinetic energy

B) It is the ball that swings the most

C) It remains stationary, acting as a pivot
