A situation where two or more objects come into contact, and at least one of them is moving, can be illustrated with the classic example of a game of pool (billiards).
In this scenario:
- Moving Object: The pool cue strikes the cue ball, causing it to move across the table.
- Contact: The cue ball rolls and eventually strikes one or more of the colored balls (such as the eight ball or any object ball).
- Resulting Action: The impact transfers energy from the cue ball to the object balls, causing them to move in different directions.
This situation demonstrates the interaction of moving and stationary objects, with dynamic motion resulting from the collision.
