Well i get that the system is conserving the momentum and tranferring the energy along the lines of balls, but I don't understand why doesn't the enrgy just get transferred into a higher arc?
We have a Newtons cradle , when you let go of one ball at one end you know what happens. Rlease one ball and the other side has a ball osciallte.
But if you release two balls (with a 5 ball cradle) , why is that two balls on the other side of the middle ball also rise in response. How does...
