The roller coaster increases kinetic energy when its velocity is increasing.
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).
Kinetic energy
Yes. At the top of the hill, the potential energy is at a maximum. As the coaster is rolling down the hill, the potential energy (or energy due to the coaster's position or height), is converted into kinetic energy (as the roller coaster is rushing downhill).

On a pendulum, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the swing on either side, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing. On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the top of a hill, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the hill.

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.
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.
The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill

If its moving it has kinetic energy

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.
