how the kinetic is transformed into potential energy in the Newton's Cradle example

for example,lets say we lift the ball on one end up a certain height and then release it when the ball falls and strikes the next ball beside it,it transfer its kenitic energy to it.

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The principle of Energy Conservation tells us that energy is transformed from kinetics to potential and vice versa. That is, the potential energy is transformed from potential to Kinetics as the height of the body decreases with respect to a reference level (level where the potential energy is zero), but as the potential energy decreases the kinetic energy increases, this increase is represented by the increase in speed. At the moment that the potential energy is zero, the kinetic energy is maximum i.e. the body experiences maximum velocity. And when the kinetic energy is minimal or zero, it tells us that all the kinetic energy has been transformed into potential.
