How does this tie to conservation of energy?

# data[].attributes.body
The conservation of energy is the total energy of a system that remains constant and this is related to kinetic energy because kinetic energy is part of the total energy of a system when the object is in motion or will be set into motion when potential energy transfers its energy into kinetic energy.

Springs can be used as a way to propel roller coasters forward with less work and at a quicker pace.
Friction on the coaster while on the track will result in a gradual loss of speed.

Friction, or frictional dissipation, is a phenomenon in which mechanically useful energy, such as the motion of the roller coaster, is converted to mechanically useless energy such as heat or sound.
