Question

When a Newton’s Cradle with three marbles is pulled back and released, a collision happens between the marbles causing a cycle of repeated motion. This transfer of energy will last for several cycles. In three to five sentences, list out all of the energy transfers that occur in one cycle. HELP ASAP

Answer 1

When a Newton's Cradle with three marbles is pulled back and released, it is making mechanic energy turn into elastic energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When a Newton's Cradle with three marbles is pulled back and released, the mechanical energy is converted to potential elastic energy.

When a collision happens between the marbles causing a cycle of repeated motion, The elastic potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

This transfer of energy will last for several cycles. If there is any energy lost, then the kinetic energy must have been converted to thermal energy or heat energy
