What is kinetic energy

is the moving energy, the energy when the roller coaster is swooping down.

Kinetic energy is a form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion. If work, which transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy.
