The potential and kinetic energy in a roller coaster changes constantly. As a cart climbs up an incline it's potential energy is increases the higher it gets. At the top it's potential energy is calculated by mgh than when it falls it's kinetic energy increases. Kinetic energy is calculated by 1/2mv2. The total energy of the car is calculated by putting together the kinetic and potential energy.
