Which scenario would most likely occur when a cue ball strikes a pool ball that is at rest?

• The cue ball will stop making and also be at rest.

• The pool ball will accelerate in the same direction as the cue ball was initially moving.

• The cue ball will bounce back from the pool ball around the same velocity.

• The pool ball will accelerate to a velocity greater then the cue ball moving.
