I can not tell you why he made it but I can tell you about it. Newton's cradle can be modeled with simple physics and minor errors if it is incorrectly assumed the balls always collide in pairs. If one ball strikes 4 stationary balls that are already touching, the simplification is unable to explain the resulting movements in all 5 balls, which are not due to friction losses. For example, in a real Newton's cradle the 4th has some movement and the first ball has a slight reverse movement. All the animations in this article show idealized action (simple solution) that only occurs if the balls are not touching initially and only collide in pairs.

Who defined the laws of motion?

Sir Isaac Newton in his Treatise ' The Principia' They are more correctly named as 'The Laws of Universal Dynamics'. Because they apply here on Earth , and out in Space. (Universe). The three basic Laws are ; - #1. A Body/mass/object will remain stationary or in uniform motion , unless acted upon by a force. #2. A Force is directly proportional to the mass of a body. #3. To every force there is an equal and opposite force.
