An analogy or a fallacy

Fake friends are just like a newtons cradle: whenever your not facing them, they'll stab you in the back.

Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

Fake friends don't always stab you in the back so I'm assuming you're using a biased sample to make the conclusion that they would. As far as the analogy, that's a big stretch from a ball hitting another ball as being the same as a fake friend turning on you. I'm sure if my imagination stretches with some help I might see the correlation, right now I'm having trouble because Newtowns cradle seems merely a representation of transferring energy from an object to others via momentum., not sure how that's stabbing in the back.
