   In a typical collision the interaction first compresses both bodies and   
   then acclerates them. The amount of compression and acceleration of the   
   bodies need not be same. In come cases the direction of acceleration can   
   be opposite to the direction of motion so the speed is reduced.   
      
   Sometimes one of the bodies is so massive that the acceleration is too   
   small to be detected, e.g. when someting falls to the ground.
