yes, that is perfectly legal. Your target ball may contact any other ball or cushion on the table before going in the pocket.
The one ball is placed at the front of the triangle. Then the balls alternate between stripe and solid around the outside. The smaller triangle inside the larger one will have the 8 ball at the head, with a stripe and solid behind.
That depends on which pool game you're playing. In 8-ball, you choose either the solid balls or the stripe balls and must pot those before attempting the 8-ball for the win. In 9-ball, you must pocket the balls in numerical order starting with the lowest numbered ball--potting the 9-ball on a legal shot wins the game. In 14.1, you shoot at anything. In one-pocket, when playing without handicaps, you shoot for any ball and the first player to make 8 balls in his/her designated pocket wins.
On the break if you make a solid AND a stripe then technically it is still an open table. (meaning you can make any of them in) whichever is made in the second shot as long as it isn't both kinds again then the one you make is what your ball type is.

A solid ball of cells is called a morula. A morula is an embryo that is at an early stage of embryonic development.
There is no 9th ball in the game of 9 Ball. The 9 Ball may be pocketed at any time during the game from first to 9th. Except on the break, the pocket must be called and any legal shot without a foul that results in the 9 ball entering the called pocket results in a win for that game.

161 all white ball called a "Cue"8 "solid" balls (denoted as color) numbered 1 through 87 "striped" balls (denoted as white with a colored stripe) numbered 9 through 15Most will answer 15 as they don't count the cue, but white is a color afterall.ADD: This cheeky answer is absolutely incorrect. Billiards has 3 balls, 2 of one color and one of another. The above ignorant reply is in reference to a popular pocket billiard game.
I don't think it matters if it tapped a different ball. As long as it went into the pocket the person claimed, and the person didn't scratch.
The 8 ball must be the first ball struck to be a legal shot in 8 ball. The 8 ball is allowed to carom or deflect off another ball afterwards, although some local rules, not tournament rules, require that this be called as part of the shot.
It is called a plant
