An apple falls to the ground from a tree branch and lands on the ground without bouncing. Just berfore it hits the ground it has a fair bit of momentum, and after it hits the ground it appears to have none at all. Where did the apple's momentum go? it is turned into heat 2 it just vanishes it's transferred to the Earth

Two billiard balls are at rest and touching each other on a pool table. The cue ball travels at 3.8 m/s along the line of symmetry between these balls and strikes them simultaneously. If the collision is elastic, what is the velocity of the three balls after the collision?
A 70.0-kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 35.0 m/s. Suppose the goalie and the ice puck have an elastic collision and the puck is reflected back in the direction from which it came. What would their final velocities be in this case?
A driver applies the brakes and reduces the speed of her car by 20 , without changing the direction in which the car is moving. By how much does the car’s momentum change?
A child sleds down a hill and collides at 5.6 m/s into a stationary sled that is identical to his. The child is launched forward at the same speed, leaving behind the two sleds that lock together and slide forward more slowly. What is the speed of the two sleds after this collision?
A 2.00-kg object hangs, at rest, on a 1.00-m-long string attached to the ceiling. A 100-g object is fired with a speed of 20 m/s at the 2.00-kg object, and the two objects collide and stick together in a totally inelastic collision. Write an equation for the motion of the system after the collision. Assume air resistance is negligible.
Two carts on an air track have the same mass and speed and are traveling towards each other. If they collide and stick together, find (a) the total momentum and (b) total kinetic energy of the system, (c) Describe a different colliding system with this same final momentum and kinetic energy.
Two identical objects (such as billiard balls) have a one-dimensional collision in which one is initially motionless. After the collision, the moving object is stationary and the other moves with the same speed as the other originally had. Show that both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
