This can happen if they move in opposite directions, and the sum of their momentum is zero. For example, before the collision one may have a momentum of 100 kg x meter / second to the right, and the other 100 kg x meter / second to the left. Thus, their total momentum before the collision would be zero; therefore this would be no problem from this point of view, since the total momentum after the collision is obviously also zero.
From the point of view of conservation of energy, mechanical energy is often lost in collisions; most of such energy is converted into heat energy.
Objects move if they have momentum. Momentum is gained via an applied force. Therefore objects start or stop moving when a net force is working on them.
Because of friction, Friction is what causes moving objects to slow down and eventually stop. This is an important science idea we can use to describe the force that pushes back on a moving object and makes it slow down and stop.
False. Forces can also set stationary objects in motion.
As your brain tries to compensate for the moving objrcts, when you stop, your head keeps on going
more mass means more inertia, inertia refers the a objects resistance to begin moving or to stop moving, therefore yes it does
They Bounce off of each other and then they stop

It is not only possible---it will stop moving at some point in the far distant future.

yes
yes
friction slows objects down but because of that it eventually brings them to a stop
no
False. Forces can also set stationary objects in motion.
no. not now at least. it is possible that it will in the future.
Generally, cars stop moving for one of three reasons. Most commonly, the driver has used the breaks. The car can collide with some heavy object, such as a tree. (Driving off a pier into the ocean also counts.) Or, the car has run out of gas and eventually will stop moving because of air resistance if for no other reason.
Objects start out as either a rest or moving. If they are at rest, they require a force to be applied for them to start moving. If they are moving, they require a force to either slow them down or to make them stop. That means that once something starts moving, it will move forever, unless a force slows it down. The catch is that the force can be friction.
