In Terminal,
top
should show all running processes. There are two options: either the application is running and we can kill it with
kill pid
where pid is the number for the process, e.g. kill 928 for killing a process that shows that PID. The second option is that the process is a zombie, and it can't be killed, and the RAM wasted by it will be released only at reboot.
Top should also list how many processes are running, and if there are any zombies.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
