potential when it starts ,then kinetic when it starts to move ,then lights if the roller coaster has lights ,then heat because of the friction between the tracks of the roller coaster and the actual car and it also has heat because every thing has heat energy no matter what

What is potential energy changed to kinetic energy?

Potential energy is when something is about to release its energy. Think of at a rollercoaster when it reaches the top, right before it is about to fall. That is potential energy because it could fall which will release the energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that is being released at that moment. For instance, the rollercoaster falling, it is being pulled downwards which is the kinetic energy.
