Yes, momentum is the right answer. Sorry I wasn't first. But there is another component that must be considered as well, and that is spin.
All of the energy in an object (other than nuclear energy) can be described by formulas that include vector and angular momentum.
;-D Enjoy your game of pool, but remember to control the spin!

Wow, this is actually my first question answering or asking attempt here at Yahoo!* Usually I'm too lazy to look into all the details, but this simple question actually interests me since i found momentum an interesting topic in grade 12 physics. The product m x v = p
p, is the variable representing momentum. To help familiarize yourself with this phenomenon think about collisons between objects, (car accidents sadly being a common example). To give an idea about the magnitude of impact, two key factors are multiplied. The velocity or how fast its going with a specified direction, and mass of the object. Momentum is the resulting term used.

Momentum is the result obtained when mass is multiplied by velocity.

Yeah, I think that's right. Momentum.

momentum=mass*velocity
so its momentum

I believe that is Newtons equation for force.Good day!
