throw it up in the air; starts with kinetic and when it reaches it's maximum peak all of it's kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy
1/2 * m * v^2 = m * g * h

Potential - Kinetic - Potiential again as you drop the yo yo, the potential energy it had at its height is converted to kinetic energy. as it starts to come back up, it is converted back to potential energy
So the potential energy is the energy in the car at the top of the first slope. It changes into kinetic energy (Speed with mass) as it rolls down the hill. Then the electric motor winds it back up the hill, putting potential energy in the system again.
Yes, it is based on both. Potential energy (gravitational potential energy, to be more precise) is simply the weight multiplied by the height.
Kinetic energy is energy that is moving or in motion. Potential energy is energy that is still but has potential to move. Both energy's can switch back and forth from each other. Energy is never lost, it just changes forms. Hope this helps!

At the top of the loops the cars have the maximum potential energy. The maximum kinetic energy is when they are going fastest. So the energy they possess is switching from potential to kinetic and back again as they progress around the circuit, but the overall change from start to finish is a loss of potential energy.Potential energy-when the roller coaster is getting startedKinetic energy-roller coaster is exactly using the potential energy to speed up
Potential - Kinetic - Potiential again as you drop the yo yo, the potential energy it had at its height is converted to kinetic energy. as it starts to come back up, it is converted back to potential energy
Potential energy occurs in a spring when it is stretched because it now has the potential to bounce back with kinetic energy it is said to have elastic potential energy (EPE)
potential energy is stored energy so like, pulling a bow and arrow, pulling the bow back is a form of potential enegry because it's stroing energy This would be an example of elastic potential energy. Other types include gravitational potential energy, electrical potential energy and chemical potential energy.

kinetic and potential
The ball has the highest potential energy at its maximum height (15m in the air). At the beginning, the ball has only kinetic energy and no potential energy. But as the ball travels upward, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. When the ball changes direction, there is no kinetic energy, as all of it is now potential energy. As the ball returns back down, potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.
An object has potential energy if it has been pushed into a certain position, against a certain type of force (a so-called "conservative force"). The potential energy will automatically be "released" when the object goes back to a lower-energy position (meaning, in this case, less potential energy); in that case, the potential energy will quite often be converted into kinetic energy, since the force tends to accelerate the object. One example is when an object in a high position (and which therefore has gravitational potential energy) falls down. Another example is when a spring is released.
So the potential energy is the energy in the car at the top of the first slope. It changes into kinetic energy (Speed with mass) as it rolls down the hill. Then the electric motor winds it back up the hill, putting potential energy in the system again.
