In croquet, you can move a ball by striking it with a mallet. Players take turns hitting their balls through a series of hoops in a specific order. Additionally, if a player hits another player's ball, they can move their ball to a new position as a bonus move, known as a "croquet shot." However, once a ball has been hit and moved, players cannot manually move it again until their next turn.
A croquet ball that is pegged out is referred to as a "dead ball." This occurs when a player hits their ball through the final peg, effectively removing it from play for the remainder of the game. Once a ball is dead, it can no longer be used to score points or take additional actions in the game.
The word "croquet" originated from the French term "crochet," which means a wooden ball or mallet. Croquet is a lawn game that became popular in France and England in the mid-19th century.
In croquet, Newton's third law applies when a player strikes their ball with the mallet. When the mallet pushes on the ball (action), the ball exerts an equal and opposite force back onto the mallet (reaction), causing the ball to move in the opposite direction. This law governs the transfer of momentum between the mallet and the ball in the game of croquet.
