Potential Energy.

This is because kinetic energy is when an object is actually in motion, and since the specified object is not exactly in motion, it would be potential energy.

Potential energy can also be referred to or observed as resting energy; think of it like this, it's potential that an object holds that it can later exude.

Hope this helps!
