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).
Hope this helps,

What happens to potential energy if speed doubles?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
This erosive agent is resonsible for mud slides and boulders rolling down hills?
Water is the erosive agent responsible for mudslides and boulders rolling down hills. The force of water can dislodge soil and rocks on steep slopes, causing them to slide or roll downhill rapidly. Factors such as heavy rainfall, steep terrain, and loose soil can contribute to these erosion processes.
Which eventis most like an electron moving from an outer shell to an inner shell?
The event most like an electron moving from an outer shell to an inner shell is the emission of a photon when an electron transitions to a lower energy level. This process occurs when the electron loses energy, typically in the form of light, as it moves closer to the nucleus. This is similar to a ball rolling downhill, where it loses potential energy and may release that energy as kinetic energy in the form of a photon.
How does a yo yo transfer both potential and kinetic energy?
The yoyo is a good example of how potential and kinetic energy can oscillate. When fully up and stationary it has zero kinetic and only potential, when it is fully down and rotating at max speed this energy has been converted to kinetic, then it climbs up again, and so on. The player has to keep providing a small input of energy to overcome friction losses.
When rolling downhill a roller coaster's potential energy is converted into a kinetic energy b thermal energy c sound energy d all of the above?

When a ball rolls down a hill what energy conversion occursng?
As the ball rolls down the hill, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The higher the hill, the more potential energy the ball has, which is converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed while rolling downhill.
Which force causes rocks to roll downhill?
Gravity is the force that causes rocks to roll downhill. The slope of the hill creates a gravitational potential energy that pulls the rock towards the bottom. As the rock starts rolling, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, driving the rock downward.
Is coasting downhill on a bike a chemical energy?
No, it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy.
What energy transformations are in a bicycle rolling downhill?
As a bicycle rolls downhill, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it gains speed. Friction between the tires and road surface converts some kinetic energy into heat energy. The motion of the wheels also generates sound energy as the tires interact with the road.
Is rolling down a grassy hill kinetic or potiental?
Rolling down a grassy hill involves kinetic energy. As the person moves downhill, the energy of motion in their body is known as kinetic energy. Potential energy is the stored energy an object has due to its position or state, such as sitting at the top of the hill before rolling down.
What other things can energy do?
There are three types of energy: Mechanical, Kinetic, and Potential. Kinetic is defined as energy in motion (person running, ball rolling). Potential energy is energy that is to be used and about to happen (food, book about to fall off a table). Mechanical energy is both Kinetic and Potential energy (roller coasters are a great example). The law of conservation of energy states that 'Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but converted from kinds of energy'. Energy can be converted.
Does a rock sitting on a hill have energy why?
It has potential energy that can be released by starting it rolling down the hill so that the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and friction with the surface.
What transformation of energy happens in rolling toy?

Is it true a boulder rolling down a hill has potential energy?
Yes, a boulder rolling down a hill has potential energy. The potential energy is in the form of gravitational potential energy, which is due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field. As the boulder rolls down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What is an amusement park ride that is affected by sliding friction?
Roller Coasters. roller coasters are affected by rolling friction (hence roller) not sliding
List 4 examples of types of energy?
Chemical energy - A battery (Converting chemical energy to electrical energy) Kinetic energy - A ball rolling on the floor Heat - When you rub your hands together (kinetic-->heat) Potential energy - a skateboarder on top of a hill (potential-->kinetic when rolling downhill)
