You have an End Time of 0.2 s but the time it takes a body traveling at 1000 mm/s to cover 0.1 mm is 0.0001 s.Try setting your End Time to 0.001 s so you might see the impact.
A better way to model impact events in Explicit Dynamics is to move the geometry so there is no gap between the parts.
The default value for output is 20 frames between 0 and the End Time. You should also increase the number of output frames from 20 and make it 2000 so you can see output with less time between each frame.
