When the coaster goes back up another hill, it will lose kinetic energy (it will slow down) and gain some potential energy again. ![]() When the coaster starts going down the hill, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, or the energy of the motion. Potential energy is "stored" because of an object's elevation, or height off the ground. Instead, they rely on gravitational potential energy*, which they gain by initially being towed up a large hill. ![]() Roller coasters are all about physics! Unlike other vehicles like cars and trains, roller coasters do not have an engine that propels them along the track.
