If two toy cars of the same mass are moving from the opposite directions will they collide at a half way point and what will happen after the collision?

Momentum will be conserved (it always is conserved). If the cars also move at the same speed, and the collision is inelastic, they will both stop completely.

How is it possible that two moving objects can collide and stop moving?
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.
What happen to object with velocity and acceleration in opposite directions?
It slow down, and eventually reverse direction.
What happens when two forces act in opposite directions with the same amount of force?
If this happens then they will get pushed apart. Otherwise nothing really will happen unless there is objects at the end were it is pushing.
Why does sound happen?
Sound only happens when there is a collision with another object or a vibration from another object, because that is what a sound is. It can only be soft, loud, strong, weak, light, pitched etc. because it was moved by other existing objects. So sound happens when objects collide or become vibrated.
What must happen for to be transferred by thermal conduction?
Two molecules must collide with each other.

What will happen if the earth starts to rotate and revolve in the opposite directions?
The season progression would reverse.
What happen to object with velocity and acceleration in opposite directions?
It slow down, and eventually reverse direction.
Is there any possibility of collision between earth and nebula?
In space and time anything is possible. Within our lifetime, then it will not happen, however in about 2.5 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy will collide with our galaxy, the Milky Way.
What will happen AFTER 2 galaxies collide?
They can merge, to combine into a single, larger, galaxy. Or, they can separate again. ------------ "Collide" is a misnomer because of the vast distances between stars in a galaxy, the odds of a stellar collision are extremely small. The Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy are on a collision course. If you're around when they begin to "collide" in about 4-Billion years, don't expect to see any fireworks in the sky. Except for an increase of the number of observable stars in the night sky, it will largely be a non-event.
