    Newton's cradle: Glue balls together

    Hi. Assuming only one ball is pulled away and let go, it's fairly easy to show that momentum and/or energy conservation would be violated if this made two balls to bounce off on the other side (if the other ones remain still). So what happens if we glue the last to balls together or replace...
