In an inelastic collision, after collision the kinetic energy

In an inelastic collision, after collision the kinetic energy
  1. increases by 2 times
  2. is less than before collision
  3. is more than before collision
  4. remains same

Solution

In inelastic collision, there is always loss of kinetic energy. $\therefore \quad \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{i}}\gt\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}$
