What is kinetic to kinetic energy?
same if none has been lost. ke=0.5Xmv(squared) GPE=massxgravityxheight
What is the momentum of marbles after collision?
Same as before the collision. This applies whether the collision was elastic (no loss of kinetic energy) or inelastic (some kinetic energy lost).
A collision in which kinetic energy may be transferred between the colliding particles but the total kinetic energy remains the same?
This is called an elastic collision. In this case both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved.
What is the definition of a superelastic collision?
A superelastic collision is when the total kinetic energy AFTER a collision is more than the total kinetic energy BEFORE the collision. It's more easily seen when examining the speeds (the masses will normally stay the same) of the two objects. When the speeds are faster AFTER the collision than BEFORE the collision, you likely have a superelastic collision. (Kinetic Energy equals 1/2xMassxSpeed^2) When the speed increases there is a larger kinetic energy. Before you implode (I almost did) from the disregard of the first law of thermodynamics (that energy can't be created or destroyed, only transferred and transformed), the increase in kinetic energy is most likely a conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. An example would be two carts with springs colliding and creating a supercollision. Since the springs are triggered because of the collision, their potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy and the carts will leave the collision with a larger velocity and thus more kinetic energy.
Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?
In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.

What is an example of kinetic energy as it applies to a vehicle?
Kinetic energy is extra energy resultant of motion. So, a moving vehicle has kinetic energy.
Does the activated complex have the highest kinetic energy?
No, the kinetic energy that was present before the collision will become potential energy.
Special cases of inelastic collision?
A special case of inelastic collision would be no kinetic energy. This is when there is no energy.
A collision in which the total momentum and kinetic energy remain constant?
Kinetic energy is only conserved if the collision is elastic. All other collisions will have some loss of kinetic energy even when momentum is conserved.
What collision produces more energy?
That depends what you mean by "produce". You may be aware that you can't create energy where there was none before.In a perfectly elastic collision, no kinetic energy is lost.In an inelastic collision (the objects stick together after the collision), much of the kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, mainly heat.
Comparison between elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, all initial kinetic energy is fully restored as final kinetic energy. where nothing is converted into noise, heat or any other form of energy. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is "lost" to thermal or sound energy.
What happenes in an inelastic collision?
In inelastic collisions, there is a net loss of kinetic energy after the collision has occurred.
