The maximum potential energy in a roller coaster is at _____

The maximum potential energy in a roller coaster is at _____ Correct Answer the top of the steep climb

The potential energy is given by; PE = m x g x h where; PE = Potential energy m = Mass of the object g = Acceleration due to gravity h = Height of the object Hence, the higher the object, the greater the potential energy.

When a roller coaster is at the top of a steep hill, its potential energy is maximum. When it hurdles down the slope and comes to the bottom, the potential energy reduces greatly. Hence we can say that the law of conservation of energy is not valid here since energy is destroyed.
An attempt is made to pull a roller of weight W over a curb (step) by applying a horizontal force F as shown in the figure.
