If you hit a pool ball and it hits another why does one stop and the other keep going?
transfer of energy. If the cue ball strikes the object ball cleanly and with no spin, it will transfer all of its energy to the object ball just like that childhood toy with the swinging ball bearings in line. If the cue ball does not hit the object ball cleanly (not on center) then the energy will be divided between the cue ball and the object ball sending them off in right angles to each other (the re-direction of the cueball will be at a right angle to the direction that the object ball takes off at). If a spin (either forward, backward or sideways(english)) is present when the cue ball strikes the object ball, that energy generally is not transfered to the object ball and will affect how the cueball moves after striking the object ball.
Hope this helps.
