{ "description": "The task involves a series of suspended small balls arranged in a straight line and closely fitting each other. Then, one ball at one end is lifted and released, colliding with the other balls.", "prompt": "Static frontal camera view: A Newton’s cradle assembly (five identical 33 g steel balls; coefficient of friction ≈ 0.01, coefficient of restitution ≈ 0.20) rests atop a black perforated optical table. Four balls hang in contact forming a stationary aligned row; the leftmost ball is pulled back to a nearly horizontal position on its individual suspension string and held propped against the tip of an independent lever mounted to a sliding rail. Upon release, the ball swings back to collide with the stationary row. Momentum transfers sequentially through the chain of balls, launching the terminal ball outward into a swing. The collisions are moderately inelastic, which visibly suppresses the ideal Newton’s cradle behavior across successive oscillation cycles.", "assets": { "ball-1": { "model": "../../assets/obj/ball-2.obj", "material": { "metal": { "mass": 0.033, "density": 7878.1697, "friction": 0.01, "restitution": 0.202387 } } }, "ball-2": { "model": "../../assets/obj/ball-2.obj", "material": { "metal": { "mass": 0.033, "density": 7878.1697, "friction": 0.01, "restitution": 0.202387 } } }, "ball-3": { "model": "../../assets/obj/ball-2.obj", "material": { "metal": { "mass": 0.033, "density": 7878.1697, "friction": 0.01, "restitution": 0.202387 } } }, "ball-4": { "model": "../../assets/obj/ball-2.obj", "material": { "metal": { "mass": 0.033, "density": 7878.1697, "friction": 0.01, "restitution": 0.202387 } } }, "ball-5": { "model": "../../assets/obj/ball-2.obj", "material": { "metal": { "mass": 0.033, "density": 7878.1697, "friction": 0.01, "restitution": 0.202387 } } } }, "tasks": { "default": { "assets": ["ball-1", "ball-2", "ball-3", "ball-4", "ball-5"], "translation": { "ball-1": [0.448794, 0.377852, 0.178669], "ball-2": [0.448794, 0.397852, 0.178669], "ball-3": [0.448794, 0.417852, 0.178669], "ball-4": [0.448794, 0.437852, 0.178669], "ball-5": [0.448794, 0.457852, 0.178669] }, "orientation": { "ball-1": [-90, 0, 0], "ball-2": [0, 0, 0], "ball-3": [0, 0, 0], "ball-4": [0, 0, 0], "ball-5": [0, 0, 0] }, "fixed": { "ball-1": false, "ball-2": false, "ball-3": false, "ball-4": false, "ball-5": false }, "kinematic": { "ball-1": false, "ball-2": false, "ball-3": false, "ball-4": false, "ball-5": false }, "record": { "assets": ["ball-5"], "dim": ["x", "y", "z"], "fps": 30 } } } }
