The energy that was expounded by both forces was totally wasted, so therefore they will diminish and die.......:(:(:( (~p~)

this is a hypothetical situation.one can not say much on it.still u can consider a few points.u can assume tht the body tht is moving is spherical.its translational motion is the result of its rotational motion.so even if u can not paas over tht object the body can be in rotational motion though it wont move forward.a certain time will come wen friction will play its role and ultimately the body will start rolling in the backward direction and continue its motion wid the direction reversed

well it would obviously end up in a crash. and depending on which item has more mass.
For example if the item that cant b stopped had more mass then the item that couldnt be moved then the item that cannot b moved will move.
and also the force of the collision.

Well.... My theory is that the thing that can't stop moving will somehow bypass the thing that can't move, whether that be going around it, or over it(Etc). Or, it will continue to crash, but it will continuosly move, but still not affect the thing that can't move.... And.... It is entirely possible to make something not move, molecules and atoms are always moving, things are always moving, everything is always moving.

it's a classic form of the omnipotence paradox, so there is no rational answer.
although perhaps you could argue that there are no things that cannot be stopped (nor things that cannot be moved) in the physical universe we live in, so it's not possible from that perspective either.

at first collission of course partly elastic; some of the energy will be lost definitely.then d body coudnt be moved will give a reaction of d impulsive force imparted by d moving body n d moving body will move in d reverse direction.

The moving object ( that couldn't be stopped ) will keep moving with its direction changed. and the object (that couldn't be moved) will stand there as it was before collision.

hmm.. my assumtion would be that the collission would cause a rebound of the thing that cant be stopped.
That thing should now move in the opposite direction and pretty much keep going that way :-)

force - resistance = t(if t is positive both objects move, if t is negative both objects stop, if t is 0 you get the picture)

Either the "unstoppable" object isn't really unstoppable, or the "immovable" object isn't really immovable. Simple logic :)
