The best description of one billiard ball hitting a second billiard ball is:

**Most of the kinetic energy in the first ball is transferred to the second ball.**

This is because in a typical elastic collision, while some kinetic energy may be lost (due to factors such as sound or deformation), a significant portion is transferred to the second ball, particularly if they are of similar mass and the collision is head-on.
