    Roller Coasters The main energy transfers that happens as a “car” travels along the track from the start of the ride to the end. 1. The main energy transfers are between gravitational potential energy (GPE) and kinetic energy (KE)‚ and the eventual decrease of mechanical energy as it transforms into thermal energy. Roller coasters often start as a chain and motor exercises a force on the car to lift it up to the top of a very tall hill. At this height‚ GPE is at its highest‚ as we can see

    As the height of the roller coaster increases‚ the speed of the marble decreases; and vice versa. When the height of the roller coaster is at it’s peak‚ the highest point‚ and the motion of the marble is going uphill; the speed has less kinetic energy than it has potential. The potential energy is being stored up‚ as the marble’s velocity is at an upward motion. Once the ball reaches the highest point and starts moving in a downwards motion‚ it releases the stored energy and gains kinetic energy
