A pool ball has three distinct phases of motion after being struck by the cue tip.
If the cue ball strikes the object ball without "throw" (skidding induced by spin) and without significant surface friction during contact, the two balls will depart at right angles (90 degrees) relative to each other. the physics of pocket billiards pdf
Praised for its scientific accuracy, this 262-page book covers the full spectrum of concepts with no "voodoo explanations". A pool ball has three distinct phases of
Applying sidespin (English) introduces complex aerodynamic and frictional forces: the physics of pocket billiards pdf
When you hit the ball on the left or right side, a phenomenon called occurs.
The cue ball transfers all of its kinetic energy to the object ball. The cue ball stops dead in its tracks (a "stun shot").
