When the roller coaster goes from a high place to a low place, not all of the potential energy it had gets converted into kinetic energy. What happens to this energy that is not converted? What is this energy called? For example, if it had 50J of potential energy and 0J of kinetic energy first, and then it rolled down and now has 0J of potential energy and 40J of kinetic energy? What happened to the other 10J of energy?

Answer:
The system's potential energy is increased by gaining altitude. Then, gravity takes over, causing most of the potential energy to be converted into kinetic energy. Any of the leftover energy that has not been converted into kinetic energy by the end of the ride is energy lost due to friction.
Explanation:
it disappears basically
