@cyrix"Maybe because a wrecking ball would have f**king crushed the car?"Isaac Newton is spinning in his grave right now. Rest assured, the momentum got transferred to the vehicle just like it should have.
Ipcustom,If the mass of the wrecking ball were less than the mass of the van, then the wrecking ball would stop because its energy would be transferred to the van. If the mass of the wrecking ball were greater, then it would continue moving.And in neither case would the wrecking ball pierce through the van like a bullet.
