The energy is changing between Point B and Point C as potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and then back to potential energy. At Point B, the roller coaster has high potential energy and low kinetic energy, as it is at the top of a hill. As the roller coaster goes down the hill towards Point C, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, resulting in high kinetic energy and low potential energy at Point C. This conversion of energy allows the roller coaster to gain speed and momentum.
