Two balls made of sand after collision on a pool table might not
bounce off as quickly from one another as regular pool table balls.
That in itself is proof.

Those balls would do the same in space.

Less speed results from the collision. That means that a lot of
momentum is lost.

I have seen balls that move just a few inches after being hit, seen
such things somewhere in the hidden corners of my memory from my past.
Maybe mud balls.

Wikipedia's article is of limited quality. Kinetic energy comes in two
basic forms: ordered and disordered. The latter is the stochastic
motion that is associated with thermal kinetic energy.

So there is no such thing as absorbing impact by these gym bags?

I heard in physics of things that absorb energy, can be typically
friction, heat in physics. What would physics be without absorbing
energy in any form, meaning loss of momentum because of non-bouncing
qualities, particle vibrations within, where impact so to speak
spreads not just linearly in vibrations and energy then is lost.

No. Momentum is a vector. It is conserved regardless of the
"stickiness" of the collision. Ordered kinetic energy may in fact be
reduced, but not momentum. Ordered kinetic energy can go into
disordered kinetic energy (thermal energy or heat), configuration
energy, potential energy, light radiation, or any of a number of other
energy buckets.

Once again you show you have no clue about energy, momentum, velocity, their
relationship, or how to calculate them.

Gibberish.
