The first 'hill' on a rollercoaster is always the tallest - to give the cars the momentum to carry them to the end of the track.

on a roller coaster what is the motor called that lifts you up on the first hill
The word "coaster" in roller coaster refers to the method of travel. Roller coaster trains are not powered. Instead they coast from one hill to the next on a set of wheels (or rollers), hence the name.
there would be plenty of potential energy
The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill
100 yards
The potential energy is highest at the top of the first hill or peak of the roller coaster because it is at its maximum height above the ground. As the roller coaster descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the car gains speed.
big ball sack
at the bottom of the hill
That depends on the ride .
A hyper-coaster is a large roller coaster that has a lift hill height of at least 200 feet. A giga-coaster is larger, with a lift hill of at least 300 feet.
When you see a roller coaster you have probably noticed that the first hill of the roller is always the highest unless it has given potential energy. Potential energy is force or stored energy. This is happens because not all potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
