What is the relationship between height and Gravitational Energy?

Back

Gravitational Energy increases with height; the higher an object is, the more gravitational energy it has.

How does energy transform on a roller coaster?

Back

As a roller coaster moves, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and vice versa, depending on the height and speed.
