Question

A superelastic collision is one in which1) kinetic energy before the collision equals kinetic energy after the collision.2) kinetic energy after the collision is zero.3) kinetic energy before the collision is less than kinetic energy after the collision.4) kinetic energy before the collision is greater than kinetic energy after the collision

Answer 1

A superelastic collision is the the collision in which the potential energy of the system is converted into the kinetic energy such the kinetic energy of the system after the collision is more than the kinetic energy of the system before the collision.

Hence, 3rd option is the correct answer.
