Hi. I'm having trouble understanding Newton's third law. It states that: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Then howcome if you hit a pool ball with the cue ball, at a straight angle, it'll stop dead. Isn't it supposed to go backwards the same distance as the second ball (because the reaction is supposed to be equal and opposite to the action)?
