collision, as is shown when playing pool.
There are several laws governing collisions, the principal one being the
law of conservation of linear momentum, which says the total momentum of an
isolated system is the table and the balls, and the law then implies that the
total momentum of the balls just before they collide is the total momentum just
after the collision.

Therefore if the masses of two colliding objects are known, the velocity
and the velocity of the other before the collision, you can calculate the final
velocity of this second object after it has collided. To obtain an exact answer
however, we ...
