Newton's cradle - analysis 1mass VS 3mass

Theoretical prediction:

After collision, both the 1mass and 3mass lift off with 1/2 of the initial velocity.

Results:

-Initial velocity of mass1 before collision: 0.60
-Mass 1 reflects back with velocity: 0.30
-Mass 3 lifts off with velocity : 0.30

conclusion: The predictions perfeclty match the results! Physics works!

What's all this then?

Using a ruler and taking measurements!

You must know that rulers were devised by the scientific community to keep their fables alive, you can't trust rulers, the only honest way would to be just judge by eye and take a guesstimation, that's what they do when they build bridges and buildings, those engineers know the truth.

Good series of videos and demos and analysis Dispar, thank you for your efforts my friend and hope you are doing well. 👍😊
