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.

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 can I prevent scratching the cue ball in billiards?

To prevent scratching the cue ball in billiards, make sure to hit the cue ball cleanly and accurately with the cue stick. Avoid hitting the cue ball too hard or at an angle that could cause it to jump off the table or scratch. Practice your technique and aim to improve your control over the cue ball to minimize the risk of scratching.


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.
