It could be gravitational potential energy, the stored energy of an object's mass held against the pull of gravity, such as a ball in the air; or elastic potential energy, the energy of a material stretched from its resting state, such as an archer's drawn bowstring; or chemical potential energy, the possibility of transformation to a new form through a chemical reaction, such as burning wood.
