Isaac Asimov answered this question rather neatly, I thought. I can't remember in which of his many books I read it (it was a long time ago), but the gist of his argument was this: A universe in which there exists such a thing as an irresistible force is, by definition, a universe which cannot also contain an immovable object. And a universe which contains an immovable object cannot, by definition, also contain an irresistible force. So the question is essentially meaningless: either the force is irresistible or the object is immovable, but not both.
This was my first introduction to philosophy. It was also my first introduction to the notion that ideas which are actually incoherent, when analysed, can nevertheless be extremely useful metaphors. I can think of no better way to describe some encounters between two-year-olds and their mothers, for example.

The correct setup would be "What would happen if an immovable object were confronted with an unstoppable force." We will have to further define out unstoppable force as having infinite momentum (right?) and the immovable object having infinite inertia (right.) Therefore, our unstoppable force would have an infinite energy (measure this in joules/calories/whatever) and the unstoppable force would be able to absorb infinite energy.
There would be an endless transfer of energy.
The two would appear as if they are resting, but are actually transferring their infinite energies from one to the other. Equilibrium or a relation would never be established since we're dealing in the infinite regarding energy.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when an unstopable object meets an unmovable object and they collide together?
This scenario presents a paradox, as an unstoppable object would not be able to be stopped by any force, while an immovable object cannot be moved by any force. In reality, such objects cannot coexist within the same universe.
Does drag slow an object?
It depends on the object that it goes through, because if a the surface of an object is big, the more drag it produces. If the object has a small surface that meets the air, then it won't produce drag that much.
What does the choice of material to make an object depend on?
The choice of material to make an object depends on factors such as the object's intended use, desired durability, cost constraints, availability of materials, desired aesthetic qualities, and environmental impact. Materials are chosen based on their properties, such as strength, flexibility, conductivity, weight, and corrosion resistance, to ensure that the object meets its functional requirements.
What it Newtons 2nd law of motion?
Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In equation form, it is expressed as F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is its acceleration.
What would win unstoppable force or an unmovable object?
well, to put it simply neither would win. Its a Paradox.
What is the area called when the object meets the surface?
Horizon line?
What happens when a juggernaut meets an immovable object?
It is impossible for a juggernaut and an immovable object to exist in the same universe and dimension.
What happends when an inmoveable object meets an unstopeble object?
That will never happen - it can't happen actually. Any time you apply a force to an object, it will accelerate - its velocity will change.
Is it possible for an object to have a constant acceleration and a non-zero velocity?
Yes, a falling apple meets that condition.
Why is something considered overrated?
An object can be rated on how well it meets given criteria. For example, food can be rated on how well it tastes, or how nutritious it is. But an object's rating does not necessarily equal how well it meets the given criteria; it is a subjective measurement representing how well the rater thinks it meets the criteria. For instance, a rater with a poor understanding of nutrition may rate a food to be more nutritious than it is. In this case, when an object's rating exceeds its actual value, it is considered overrated.
What is the foot of a cliff?
The foot of a cliff is the bottom or lower end of a space or object where the cliff meets the ground or the sea.
What happens when light an object?
When light meets any of the object it interacts with it...the interaction can be reflection, refraction, absorption, polarisation,diffraction or interference depending upon the nature of the body with which it interacts.
What shape has 1 vertice and 5 faces?
There is no such poyhedron or "normal" object.
What happens when an unstopable object meets an unmovable object and they collide together?
This scenario presents a paradox, as an unstoppable object would not be able to be stopped by any force, while an immovable object cannot be moved by any force. In reality, such objects cannot coexist within the same universe.
Describe how to provide written information in a way that meets other people's needs?
Provide a well written explanation or description of object/idea being concerned.
