Oppose This one is better. I don't see a reason for two animations that describe the exact same thing, to be featured. (In addition, this animation stuck my computer twice) Tomer T (talk) 13:50, 16 May 2011 (UTC)- Oppose The FP picture that Tomer T mentioned is better than this one IMO, as the shadow of the frame is seen better and the book it stands on does help to make it look visually better.--Snaevar (talk) 17:18, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose Impossible. As energy is lost, each oscillation should be a bit smaller than the previous until the system comes to rest. In this animation all oscillations are equal. A perfect Perpetuum mobile! --Llez (talk) 06:06, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- Well, it illustrates a simplified model, which is good. Having dissipation in this movie would unnecessarily complicate things and after all, quoting wikipedia: "Newton's cradle ... is a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy", which this movie does. Not sure about the quality of the animation, and I would also like to see animations with 2, 3 or 4 balls moving at any time. Especially the case of 3 and 4 balls could be interesting as it is a bit surprising at first and could make the watcher want to learn more about it. bamse (talk) 06:41, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
