When you lift and release one steel ball, it strikes the stationary balls and transfers its energy through them, causing the ball on the opposite end to swing outward — and so the cycle continues back and forth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How long do the balls swing after being released?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Due to air resistance and minor friction, the motion typically lasts approximately 15–25 seconds per cycle before gradually coming to rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this Newton's Cradle suitable as a gift?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Absolutely!
