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).

As water is pulled downhill by gravity, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the water gains speed and momentum while flowing downhill.
A ball travels faster uphill than downhill due to potential energy being converted to kinetic energy as it rolls downhill.
The truck's kinetic energy is increasing as it gains speed downhill due to its motion. The gravitational potential energy of the truck is being converted into kinetic energy as it moves downhill, with the conversion being more pronounced the steeper the incline.
Before it rolls downhill, it has gravitational potential energy. As it rolls downhill, part of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (including rotational energy); due to friction, this will soon be converted into waste energy, mainly heat.
When a ball rolls down a hill, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. As the ball moves downhill, its potential energy due to its height is converted into the energy of motion, which is kinetic energy.
No, it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy.
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.
Potential Energy changes to Kinetic Energy.
Potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy when an object is in motion. For example, a roller coaster has potential energy at the top of a hill, which is converted into kinetic energy as it travels downhill. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and can be used for various purposes such as transportation, electricity generation, or even in sports.
When driving uphill, gravity acts against your kinetic energy, requiring more energy to maintain speed. When driving downhill, gravity aids your kinetic energy, allowing you to maintain or increase speed more easily. In both cases, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the vehicle moves.
Gravitational potential energy can be converted into mechanical energy in various applications such as hydroelectric power plants, where the potential energy of water stored at a height is converted into mechanical energy as it falls and turns turbines to generate electricity. Similarly, roller coasters use gravitational potential energy to propel the cars downhill, converting it into kinetic energy for a thrilling ride.
