<span>According to Newton's first law of motion:
-- objects at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force
-- objects in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force

If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.
