What happens when you hit the white ball with the cue?
When you hit the white ball, the kinetic energy created from moving the cue, is transferred to the white ball on contact. This causes the ball to move, and depending on how fast you move the cue, will cause the white ball to move at different velocities.
Can the cue ball be moved off the rail to make a shot?
No, you are not allowed to move the cue ball anywhere on the pool table. According to the rules of the game, the cue ball must be played from a specific spot on the table. Generally, the cue ball will start from the "head string" (near the head of the table) and must be shot from a "frozen" position. It is also not allowed to touch or move the cue ball with any object other than the cue stick. If the cue ball is accidentally moved off the head string, it must be placed back on the head string before the next shot.

How do you legally jump the cue ball?
There are two kinds of cue ball jumps, one immediately after the cue strikes the cue ball and one where the cue ball jumps after contact with another object. A legal stroke to jump a cue ball immediately must strike the cue ball above center - this drives the cue ball into the table surface from which it rebounds. Strking the cue ball below center to lift the ball intentionally is called a scoop shot and is a foul. A cue ball can be made to jump after hitting a rail by using extreme draw or follow.

How do you play pool on Yahoo kids games?
When shooting the cue ball, use the left mouse button to move the cue stick around the cue ball. When you have positioned the cue stick where you want, click and hold the right mouse button. Pull back on the mouse until you have the desired power (displayed on the right side of the table). Let go of the right mouse button to take your shot. To move the cue ball when you have ball in hand, simply left-click the cue ball and drag it to the desired spot and drop it.

What is terminology for a cue ball spinning back after it has hit another ball?
I believe what you're talking about is a draw shot. It is when the player aims lower than the center of the cue ball with his cue tip. When the cue ball is struck below center, it generates a backward spin. When hit, the cue ball is spinning backward and skipping across the felt to the object ball. The cue ball strikes the object ball and because its momentum stops, the ball catches traction and rolls backwards.
