It has gravitational pull by it going up, pulling forces. Then it makes it to the top and stays still for a moment. Then it stretches down as it gets pushed down.

Roller coasters are able to move their passengers very rapidly up and down the hills because the cars have a large amount of potential energy on the very first hill.Kinetic Energy is mechanical energy that is due to motion of an object.
