Why is the third law that sometimes is called the law of action and reaction?
Newton's third law of motion states that whenever a force is applied on an object, an equal and opposite force is applied by the object.For example:You take two billiards balls on a pool table; say the cue ball and the 8.When the cue ball is shot into the 8 ball, it transfers its energy to the 8 ball. The 8 ball will roll in the same direction as the cue ball.The 8 ball also transfers its energy to the cue ball. The cue ball, after hitting the 8 ball, will be stopped or significantly slowed.Basically what happened was the cue ball's action was ended by the 8 ball's reaction.

Yes, and having the cue ball spin backwards is called draw. It is one of the most important early skills to learn for shooting pool.

What is a scratch with the cue ball?
In pocket billiards, a scratch is a slang term to refer to a foul where the cue ball either goes into a pocket or leaves the table. After a scratch, the next player gets "ball-in-hand" with the cue ball. This allows them to place the ball anywhere on the table, or, depending upon house rules or if the scratch occurred on the break, placing it behind the head string. In 8 Ball, if the scratch occurs and the 8 ball is pocketed as well, it is a loss of game - under some House Rules, a scratch when shooting the 8 ball is automatic loss of game.
