The Three Laws of Motion it demonstrates, it actually demonstrates all three.
The first law is that an object's motion is constant until a net force acts on it. If an object is at rest, its motion is 0. It'll stay at 0 until some other force acts on it. The balls in a Newton's Cradle will stay at rest until you move them. This is also called conservation of motion.
The second law is that motion is parallel and proportionate to force. Say you put x force on an object. Its motion will be x motion. If you put 2x force in, its motion will be 2x, and so on and so forth. If you raise a ball in a Cradle to 45 degrees from rest, its kinetic energy will transfer through the balls and make the ball on the other end of it *also* raise to 45 degrees. If this were a totally closed system, it would keep raising to 45 degree on each side, but since forces act on it (drag, gravity, head expenditure), it slows down over time and eventually stops. This is also a demonstration of the first law.
The third law is that for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. If you hold a ball in the air with your hand, not only are you holding it up, but it's pushing down against you. If you throw that ball at another ball, the fact that the second ball bounces away while the first ball stops is a demonstration that the second ball has 'pushed' the first ball away, so to speak; the motion of both is an example of the action/reaction law. In a Cradle, the same thing applies; if you drop a ball at one end, the fact that it stops (and that the energy is transferred to the other side in an equal manner (that is, two balls raised make two balls fly)) is based on the action/reaction paradigm.
No, Newton's cradle will eventually come to a stop due to a loss of energy from factors like air resistance and friction. The initial swinging motion will gradually dissipate as energy is transferred to the surrounding environment.
Newton's third law of motion is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is also called reciprocal motion/force or "action-reaction."
The units of Coulomb's law are Newtons per square meter, or N/m2.
Newton's cradle uses mechanical energy. When one ball hits the others, kinetic energy is transferred through the swinging motion of the balls. This energy is then converted back and forth between potential and kinetic energy as the balls continue to collide.
A Newton's cradle demonstrates the conservation of momentum and energy. When one ball is lifted and released, it transfers its momentum to the second ball, and this continues down the line, showing the transfer of energy through a series of collisions between the balls.
Newton's cradle conserves energy but converts it from potential to kinetic energy and vice versa.
Newton’s Cradle Newton’s Cradle is a device that demonstrates the principles of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy using a series of swinging spheres. 🔧 Structure: It consists of a series of identical metal balls (usually 5), suspended in a straight line by thin wires or strings. Each ball hangs so that it barely touches the next one. ⚙️ How It Works: When you lift and release one ball on the end, it swings and strikes the next ball. The impact transmits the energy through the stationary balls. The ball on the opposite end swings out with nearly the same speed and height. The balls in the middle appear almost stationary.
It states newtons law of gravitation
Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.

I believe it's Newtons second law because, the definition of Newtons second law is : An object acted by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force. When you push someone if you push hard enough their body will move in the direction they were pushed or forced to go or travel.
the law of inertia
Law of inertia.
newtons 2nd law states that if a force is put on an object then the object will move in the oppisite direction of the force no thats the third law
