  • Newton's cradle is an example of Newton's First Law because the orbs will not move until something makes them.
  • Newton's cradle is an example of Newton's Second Law because if only one orb is pulled and released, there is only enough force for one orb to be displaced on the other side. This is due to the acceleration and mass of the orbs.
  • Newton's cradle is an example of Newton's Third Law because the orb is being pulled back to the right, but the reaction is when it swings to the level and hits the other orbs, causing them to move to the left, and so on.
