Please help asap!! Explain the movement of a roller coaster in terms of potential and kinetic energy? When are these energies thegreatest? Smallest? Are they ever the same?

Potential energy: Greatest at the top of the hill

Kinetic energy: Greatest at the bottom of the hill

The two meet at some point on the way down!

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy that represents an object's potential for motion. Kinetic energy is that object's energy during motion. They're two sides of the same coin, and in fact, their sum gets a special name: mechanical energy. Potential energy builds up in reaction to working against certain forces - in the case of the roller coaster, that primary force is gravity. Gravity exerts a downward force on the roller coaster, and it takes work to pull it up the hill.

When it reaches the peak, the coasters potential energy is at its highest, and the moment it crests over the hill and begins its descent, that gravitational potential energy starts converting into kinetic energy: the coaster starts accelarating down the track, and the potential energy decreases at the same rate that the kinetic energy increases.

At the bottom of the hill, all of that potential energy has become kinetic energy, and the coaster zooms along the track, hopefully not giving too many riders nausea
