What does it do? Can you get it to tell you what values of momentum and energy are passed through from balls 1-->2-->3? I once used a 5-ball Newton's cradle to do a rough simulation of particle-mediated forces. Have you tried two pendula hanging from a horizontal string? Do you get the expected transfer of energy back and forth? > -- Yoshiki > _______________________________________________ > Games mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/games > -- Edward Cherlin End Poverty at a Profit by teaching children business http://www.EarthTreasury.org/ "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."--Alan Kay _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
