the higher the hill the greater the energy transfers.

If they are high they go faster
Energy transfers play a crucial role in determining the heights of hills as potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when objects move uphill. The height of a hill is related to the amount of potential energy that can be converted into kinetic energy as objects move up the hill. Therefore, the steeper the hill, the more potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, resulting in higher hill heights.
It gives it kinectic energy
You ate food.Your body took energy from the food and stored it in your muscles.You transferred the energy from your muscles to the marble, when you LIFTED the marble against gravityand placed it on top of the roller coaster. Up there, the energy it had was potential. As it fell to lower heights,that potential energy became kinetic energy.
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.
At the top of the hill the roller coaster car has potential energy and no kinetic energy but as the car goes down the hill the kinetic energy increases and the potential energy decreases. This pattern continues at every top and every bottom of each hill. A roller coaster track is built with each hill getting a little smaller each time as the car looses energy over each hill due to air resistance and friction. As the car travels along the tracks some of the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy because of the friction.
Potential energy to kinetic energy: at the top of a hill, the coaster has high potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy as it speeds down the hill. Kinetic energy to potential energy: as the coaster climbs up a hill, its kinetic energy decreases and is converted back to potential energy. Mechanical energy to thermal energy: friction between the coaster and the track converts mechanical energy into thermal energy, causing the coaster and track to heat up. Electrical energy to kinetic energy: in a launched coaster, electrical energy is converted to kinetic energy as the coaster accelerates along the track. Potential energy to sound energy: when the coaster goes over bumps or loops, potential energy is converted to sound energy as the coaster vibrates and creates noise.
Chemical energy in a rollercoaster comes from the potential energy stored in the coaster's initial position which is converted to kinetic energy as the coaster moves downhill. This conversion is due to the force of gravity acting on the coaster. The kinetic energy propels the coaster along the track, and as the coaster climbs uphill, some of this kinetic energy is converted back 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.
They have a device called a troll. This will give the car enough potential energy for it to reach the end.
When the roller coaster is at its highest position and is not moving then its potential energy is highest
