A)Potential energy increases but kinetic energy stays the same during a roller coaster ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system.

Kinetic energy is a form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion

it goes back and fourth
