I assume you are referring to a barroom table or other table where the cue ball comes out a hole near the head of the table when pocketed. This is done one of two ways. There is sometimes a magnet put in the cue ball, which sends it down a separate track inside the table, or sometimes the cue ball is weighted sleightly different, causing a mechanism inside the table to catch it, depending on the manufacturer of the table.
In 8 ball pool, the black ball must be pocketed last after all of your assigned group of balls have been pocketed. If the black ball is pocketed before all of your group of balls, you lose the game. Additionally, if the black ball is pocketed along with the cue ball, you also lose the game.

The object ball refers to both the first ball hit by the cue ball and refers to the ball intended to be pocketed, depending upon how the term is used. In most cases, it refers only to the ball that is to be pocketed.
Yes. When playing 9 ball, no numbered ball has any significance except the 9 ball. Although the 9 ball is often pocketed by means of a combination shot, sinking all numbered balls in order is not uncommon. This requres that the 8 ball be struck and even pocketed if it is the lowest numbered ball on the table.
the idea of snooker is to pot a red ball first,then a coloured ball,then a red ball again,etc... until all the red balls are gone,then the coulourd balls are potted in the following order yellow,green,brown,blue,pink,black points for potting each ball red:1 point yellow:2 points green:3 points brown:4 points blue:5 points pink:6 points black:7 points
In the game of pool, sinking the white ball (cue ball) before the black ball (8-ball) results in a loss if it happens on the same shot. This is known as scratching, and it is considered a foul. The game is typically lost if the 8-ball is pocketed prematurely, regardless of whether the player has pocketed all their designated balls. The opponent would then have the opportunity to place the 8-ball in a suitable position and continue the game.
white well i thought they wrote 'what colour is the colour of the cricket ball in TEST CRICKET!' hahahaha
A scratch in pool occurs when the cue ball is pocketed or fails to hit any other ball on the table after the cue ball strikes the object ball.
, on the table at the start of a match there are 21 balls on the table, and 22 including the cue ball (white ball). This includes 8 different coloured balls - white, red, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black. Altogether their are 22 reds and 1 of each of the others (white, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black). So altogether, their are 8 different coloured balls in snooker including the cue ball, and 7 not including the cue ball. I hope this helps.
In the game of pool, a scratch occurs when the cue ball is pocketed or leaves the table.
No. It is a foul; a foul on a pocketed black means that you actually lose the game.
If the cue ball goes in it is a foul - the pocketed ball may or may not be removed and spotted depending upon the ball and rules of play. In the game of 8 ball, if the other ball is the 8 ball it is loss of game.
