Physics of Pool, Cue Ball and 9-Ball Collision Analysis

Illustration of a pool table showing a cue ball striking a 9-ball at a 45-degree angle. The cue ball's path and velocity vector are marked, as well as the resulting motion of the 9-ball toward the pocket.

This illustration explores the physics of pool, focusing on the motion and collision of the cue ball and 9-ball at a 45-degree angle. It serves as a practical example for understanding concepts in kinematics, momentum, and energy transfer, commonly discussed in high school physics and introductory college-level mechanics textbooks.
