As the coaster continues along the track and comes to a stop at the end of the ride, the potential and kinetic energy eventually decrease until the only remaining energy is thermal energy. Why?

• The kinetic and potential energy are destroyed

• The force of friction (from the rollercoaster brakes and friction between the track and the coaster) transforms the PE and KE to thermal energy)
