Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.
Upward motion on a roller coaster converts kinetic energy into potential energy. Downward motion converts potential energy into kinetic energy. Forward motion is a result of excess potential enegy converted into kinetic energy that cannot be expended while falling.
Energy. Potential energy is like stored energy: ready-to go. (a cart at the top of a roller coaster hill has a lot of potential energy) Kinetic energy is moving energy: in-motion. (when that cart goes speeding down the hill)
Any object has maximum gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest position.
Kinetic energy is the energy in the movement.Potential energy is stored energy, ready to be used.K.E-motion energyP.E-energy stored during displacement of springs that tend to restore to original position of springKinetic energy is the energy found in every object in motion .Gravitational Potential Energy is the enegry stored in an object because of its height. For example, the energy that water has before it goes over a waterfall. Chemical potential energy is the energy that a substance can release by undergoing a chemical reaction, for example gasoline which releases energy when it is burned. Mechanical potential energy would be the kind stored in a compressed spring. Radioactive materials such as uranium have nuclear potential energy.Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.. while something is moving.. and potential energy is the energy being stored up for the object TO move.A ball rolling has kinetic energy... when you pull back a spoon to throw food at someone, when you pull back and hold it there, it has potential energy (potential to be kinetic, that is)Potential energy is the capacity for doing work that a body possesses because of itsposition or condition. While kinetic energy is energy a body possesses because it is in motion.kinetic energy is moving energy or energy used in preforming an action.potiental energy is sitting energy or energy that is being saved up.potential- when energy is stored.kinetic- when energy is movingPotential energy is stored energy, when building up to it's highest point the energy is released as kinetic energy. For example potential energy is the energy gathered when moving slowly up an amusement park ride, when you reach the top the potential energy reaches it's limit and is realeased as kinetic energy when you rocket downwards.
Gravitational Potential Energy, Elastic Potential Energy, Chemical Potential Energy, Electrical Potential Energy, Nuclear Potential Energy. If you want more info, check out this wikipedia page that I linked.
Its a transformation of kinetic energy to potential energy.
A roller coaster increases kinetic energy when it is going downhill, as gravity is pulling it down and accelerating it. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the roller coaster gains speed.
The cars of a roller coaster reach their maximum kinetic energy when at the bottom of their path.
Energy is transferred from potential to kinetic on a roller coaster as the coaster descends from a higher elevation to a lower elevation. As the coaster moves downwards, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This energy transfer allows the coaster to gain speed and momentum.
Potential energy is used when going up hill on a roller coaster. When it starts gong down the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill
kinetic
A corkscrew on a roller coaster would have kinetic energy as it moves through the track, turning potential energy (stored energy due to its height) into kinetic energy (energy of motion).
If its moving it has kinetic energy
iT DEPENDS IF YOU ARE TURNED ON OR NOT...
A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
