A roller skater, who coasts down one hill and up another hill that is the same height as the first hill, will not have enough energy to reach the top of the second hill because some of her motion energy is transformed into thermal energy.

Assuming that no energy is transferred between a ball and the curved track it is moving in, or between the ball and the air around it, the ball will move down the track and then up to a point equal to the height from which it started.

|
Assuming that no energy is transferred between a ball and the curved track it is moving in, or between the ball and the air around it, the ball will not have enough energy to go over a hill that is higher than the height from which it started because the total energy of the system has to remain the same.

In a situation involving two slides, and assuming no energy transfer between the slides and the students sliding on them or between the students and the air around them, two students of the same mass sliding down differently shaped slides will have the same speed at the bottom of the slides because the only source of motion energy is the change in gravitational potential energy, and both students experience the same change in gravitational potential energy.

Assuming no energy transfer between a roller coaster car and the track it is moving in or between the car and the air around it, all of the hills that a roller coaster car can get over must be lower than the height of the starting point.
