Could a merger occur if two planets of equal size and mass collided head on at equal speed and velocity?

The most likely result is that much of the kinetic energy would be converted to heat, completely melting and partially vaporizing both planets. The resulting molten material would spray in all directions, some would consolidate under gravity into several large bodies while others would disperse as droplets. These bodies and droplets would slowly cool (the largest ones taking as much as a million years) and resolidify.

What are the planets that could be under terrestrial planets and which planets could be called gas planets?
Some terrestrial planets are mars mercury Venus and earth gaseous planets Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune.
Why do planets don't fall down?
Actually gravitational influences can be found all over the universe and currently it is thought that gravity never goes out of range but just gets weaker and weaker with distance. The reason planets don't fall into the Sun is that they have their own velocity. This, combined with the Sun's gravity, produces a stable orbit around the Sun.
Is it possible for planets to collide at each other?
Yes. Two scientists with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics state that our galaxy, 'The Milky Way', could be on a collision course with the 'Andromeda' galaxy, or at least the dark matter halos could be, depending upon transverse velocity. However this event is estimated to be about 3-5 billion years away, long after our own Sun has grown to the stage where all water on our planet would be vaporised and all life having ceased to exist.
Could do the inner planets have lots of moons?
The inner planets do not have many moons because what could become moons is usually trapped by one of the outer planets gravitational pull, lost in the asteroid belt, or crashes into the inner planets.
What planets in our solar system that could have an eclipse?
The moons of the big planets can go into eclipse when they are in the shadow of their planet.
Are all stars and planets are about the same age?
All of the planets are in the same atmosphere. All of the planets are unique. All of the planets are considered planets. All of the planets have moons. All of the planets are named after a mythical person or thing.
What is a merger?
A Vertical Merger is a company merger that involves the union of a customer with a vendor. The two companies involved in the merger produce different but complimentary products. The vertical merger can also take place as a means of combining assets to capture a sector of the market that either company could manage on their own.

What is the main reason you could not land on outer planets er planets?
The outer planets are gas planets
What is the nature of velocity time graph of a body moving with uniform retardation?
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed.
Could plants grow on planets?
could we grow plants on other planets? Answers please.

What is a sentence you could put the word velocity?
"The velocity of the bullet was 300 metres per second."
What is a real life example of a vertical merger?
A real life example of a vertical merger would be the merger of DoubleClick (a web advertising information company) with Google (the largest web search company). However, this could be seen as just an acquisition (Google paid shareholders $3.1 billion USD).
How do atoms pass their terminal velocity in a particle accelerator?
Passing the terminal velocity is clearly not possible, otherwise it could not be called the terminal velocity!
