You will definitely have to expand on that question if you want answers. What do you mean by 'absorbed'. Usually we say that energy is transformed into other forms of energy such as potential energy, electromagnetic radiation, heat e.t.c.

Are you referring to collisions of large objects such as cars, or small particles such as electrons?
