As per the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy of the roller coaster is conserved and converted into some other energy.
The potential energy of the roller coaster is converted into kinetic energy.
The potential energy can be defined as the energy stored in an object due to its position.
Given that a roller coaster moves down a hill.
The roller has a large amount of potential energy due to its relative position from the ground.
When the roller coaster starts, some of its potential energy is used in changing its position. When the roller coaster changes its position and starts moving, it gains kinetic energy to move. This kinetic energy is gained from the potential energy of the coaster.
The kinetic energy gained by the coaster from its potential energy depends on the mass of the coaster and moving speed.
Hence we can conclude that the potential energy of the roller coaster is converted into kinetic energy.
