Why is Newton's cradle an "almost-ideal" system?(1 point) Responses Friction and air resistance cause the balls to slow down eventually and stop. Friction and air resistance cause the balls to slow down eventually and stop. The system would work more efficiently if more balls were added. The system would work more efficiently if more balls were added. Friction and air resistance are negligible and the system continues to move indefinitely. Friction and air resistance are negligible and the system continues to move indefinitely. The balls continue on for an unlimited amount of time. The balls continue on for an unlimited amount of time.

Question 1: Why is Newton's cradle an "almost-ideal" system?

Response: Friction and air resistance cause the balls to slow down eventually and stop.

Question 2: Which choice below is an example of a perfectly closed system?

Response: A cup of tea with a lid on it; energy transfer takes place with the cup and the surroundings, but no matter leaves the tea.
