Answer:

potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy possessed by virtue of position of body is called potential energy.

As the rock is resting on a high cliff, it has potential energy.

The formula for the potential energy is given by

P.E. = m x g x h

Where, m is the mass of the object, g be the acceleration due to gravity and h be the height of the object.
