Newton: the SI unit of force. It is equal to the force that would
give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter
per second.
Gravity: the force that attracts a body toward the center of
the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply.
Fundamental: forming a necessary base or core.

Pendulum Balls represent 3 main principals of
physics.
Conservation of Energy
Conservation of Momentum
Friction
5. Conservation of momentum:
a principle stating that energy cannot be
created or destroyed, but can be altered
from one form to another.
Conservation of Energy:
the principle that the total momentum
that is constant and is not changes.
Friction:
the resistance that one surface or object
encounters when moving over another.

Pendulum balls look like a simple toy when
placed on a desk, but it really represent the
basic fundamentals of physics shown in the
slide before.
These balls can also be called the following:
Kinetic Balls, Newton Balls, Balance Balls
and Newton's Pendulum.
7. Here is an example of a similar gravitational
pull as the pendulum balls:
Think about a glass bowl sitting on a table
and the bowl weighs 5 N. The bowls weight
is the measurement of Earths gravitational
attraction.
If the bowl weighs 5 N, Earth is applying
a force of 5 N to the bowl. The force is
directed down, toward the center of the
earth. But the bowl stays motionless. This
means that there must be another force
that is equal to 5 N, that is pushing up which
is the force coming from the table.
8. The materials needed is pendulum balls
and a ruler.
The first thing you do is swing the ball and
then measure the slope which is the
height of the ball.
The next thing you have to do is find out
how the 3 main principals of physics
work.
