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.

It doesn't actually measure anything. It does, however, demonstrate conservation of momentum.
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."
No
Newtons first law
Newton's cradle conserves energy but converts it from potential to kinetic energy and vice versa.
yes, like the newtons cradle
Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.
It states newtons law of gravitation
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.
