What will be the force exerted on the cue stick by the cue ball?

Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration, or F=MA. The mass is constant at 166 grams (for standard American pool balls). Acceleration is the square of centimeters per second (cm/s^2).
To properly answer your question, you would need to know how far the object ball moved and how long it took to move that distance. Then you can determine the Force.

∙ 11y agoDepends on how hard you hit the cue ball.
It is only limited by the maximum a human can stroke the cue ball with a cue stick. Pros say optimum break speed is around 17 miles per hour cue ball speed. Max is much faster than that.

What is a cue in pool?
The cue stick is used to strike the balls. The cue ball used by the players to hit the other balls is the white ball. It is the one they hit with the cue stick.
What is the stick used to play billiards called?

What is a pool cue?
The stick you use when you hit the ball in pool
What sport do you need a cue stick to play?
Snooker or Pool
If an action force is a cue ball hitting a billiard ball then what is the reaction force?
The reaction force is the object ball moving away after being struck. The cue ball may or may not come away with any energy, but it usually retains a bit. There is a "science" to where to strike the cue ball with the cue to achieve "position" in the game. You already know the zillion different things that a good player can do (must do!) with the cue ball to win a rack, though. The basic answer is that the kinetic energy of the cue ball will be transferred to the object ball in an largely inelastic collision. The object ball will then carry the energy away after the momentum of the cue ball is passed on to it. This is the case for a "straight shot" on the table with no English on the cue ball.
How do you make a jump shot in billiards?
The cue stick is elevated to at least 45 degrees and the cue is quickly stroked through the cue ball pushing the cue ball into the table slate, which makes it then rebound into the air. People not knowing how to perform a jump shot attempt to "scoop" the cue ball, using a cue stick not elevated enough and striking below the center of the cue ball. In tournament play and conventional pool rules, this "scoop" is an illegal shot, and will give the table over to the opponent.
What is better an open bridge or closed bridge?
A closed bridge will give you more control on normal shots. With an open bridge, sometimes the cue stick will bounce up after hitting the cue ball, particularly if you're applying spin, making the hit less accurate. However, there are times when you need to use an open bridge, such as if you need to elevate your cue stick over a blocking ball to get to the cue ball or if the cue ball is on the rail.
How do you pot in billiards?
You get a snooker stick and you hit the cue ball into the object ball in line with one of the pockets.
What does the term CUE indicate in Games?
The stick to hit the ball in Snooker/Billiards
If the cue stick strikes the 0.23-kg cue ball with a force of 1.7 N what will be the acceleration of the cue ball?
8 m/s^2 F = m*a 1.6 N = 0.2 kg * a 1.6 N / 0.2 kg = a 8 m/s^2 =a
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. The reaction and action occur simultaneously.
The term cue is related to which game?
Snooker or pool. It is the stick that you use to hit the ball.
