If it is an inclined table, you can use the work-energy theorem. If it is a flat table, you scatter spheres and whatnot off eachother then you find the resultant angles and energies.
You can also use ballistic pendulums, or pull a Joule and measure the temperature increase of water as you deposit energy into the water.
I've given you the links that show exactly how to perform the experiments but you just don't seem as interested as you are in arguing about nuances of English.
