According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the force that the 2 ball applies to the 9 ball is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force that the 9 ball applies to the 2 ball.
Therefore, the force that the 2 ball applies to the 9 ball is also 3.2 N, the same as the force that the 9 ball applies to the 2 ball.
During a game of pool, the 9 ball is accelerating forward at a rate of 3.2 m/s2
to the right when it hits the stationary 2 ball. Each ball has a mass of 0.16 kg.
