Potential energy and Kinetic Energy are interchanged many times as the cars slow down going up the hills, and speed up going down the hills. At the very end of the ride Kinetic Energy is turned into Thermal Energy (Heat) as the brakes stop the motion of the cars.

Does the roller coaster have the same amount of energy at the beginning and end of the ride?

Yes, the roller coaster has the same amount of total mechanical energy at the beginning and end of the ride, assuming no energy is lost to friction or air resistance. This is due to the principle of conservation of energy, where potential energy at the highest point is converted to kinetic energy as the coaster descends. However, energy may be transformed between potential and kinetic forms throughout the ride. In real-world scenarios, some energy is often lost to friction, resulting in a slight decrease in total mechanical energy.


Why does a roller coaster with more people in it will travel much faster than an empty car?

A roller-coaster would go faster with more people in it because with moer people the better the ride alsothe people that are ridding will give the roller-coaster potential energy. A roller-coaster would go slower with an empty car will give the roller-coaster kinetic energy than with peolpe in it.
