It seems like magic, but actually it is simple. The cue ball is very slightly smaller than the rest of the balls. This makes the ball not catch in the collector because the collector is sized for the regular balls, not the cue ball. To test it yourself, feel both balls and you will discover that the cue ball is ever so slightly smaller.

In a typical pool table, the white ball is released manually by the player, either by hand or with a mechanical ball return system. The pool table itself does not have a mechanism to release the white ball automatically.
To determine the mass of the table tennis ball, we can use Newton's second law of motion: Force = mass x acceleration. Given that the force applied is 0.02 N and the acceleration is 8 m/s^2, we can rearrange the formula to solve for mass: mass = Force / acceleration. Therefore, the mass of the table tennis ball would be 0.02 N / 8 m/s^2 = 0.0025 kg.
If the sum of all the forces acting on a ball is zero, the ball is in a state of equilibrium. This means the ball is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity in a straight line.
Rubber balls bounce high because rubber is an elastic material that can store and release a lot of energy upon impact. When a rubber ball hits a surface, it deforms and compresses, storing potential energy. As it rebounds, the stored energy is released, propelling the ball back up with force, resulting in a high bounce.
Thomas Edison had fair or white skin.
To calculate the mass of a ball, you would typically use the density of the material the ball is made of and its volume. The formula to calculate mass is mass = density x volume. You would need to know the density of the material and measure the volume of the ball to determine its mass.
