This depends greatly on the objects. I assume you know that the electrons that surround all atoms are what prevents any two objects from making contact. So hypothetically, if you could get two soccer balls to "touch," by the time they got within a femtometer of each other, you will have built up so much potential energy in the magnetic field between the two soccer balls that once you pushed it any further, all the energy would be released and the balls would go flying at a very high speed in opposite directions.
