On a roller coaster, the greatest amount of potential energy is at the highest point of the track. Potential energy is dependent on an object's height above ground level, and as the roller coaster ascends to the peak of a hill, it accumulates potential energy due to its elevation. When the coaster descends from that height, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which causes the coaster to speed up.
