🔵 Newton's Cradle - 2D Front View with Hertz Contact, Momentum and Energy Traces

2D companion of the Newton's cradle simulation: pendulum balls coupled by Hertz-type contact forces with adjustable restitution, live total momentum and energy traces, end-ball swing angles, and a sweep of the outgoing speed against restitution.
