I am just a man who has an insatiable desire for knowledge.

"For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]."~ Philippians 4:8

So, would it be true, that for the block-earth system--the block I belief the person was referring to was $m_1$--,mechanical energy wouldn't be conserved, since the there is a transfer of kinetic energy from $m_1$ to $m_2$, meaning energy left the block-earth system?

comment A Decrease In Momentum?
@Claudius For your last point, that momentum is transferred to the earth: is this so, because the system is only the rubber ball; and if earth was included in the system, there would be no transfer of momentum out of the system?

@Manshearth No, I was asking why internal forces don't affect the total momentum of a system.
