Answer:
A ball at the top of a ramp.
Step-by-step explanation:
The higher the object is raised above the ground, the more energy it possesses.
(There are many other alternative answers like: fossil fuels, food, batteries but the explanation is different from the ball at the top of a ramp)

Answer:

A ball resting on the edge of a cliff

Step-by-step explanation:

An object must be in motion or be moving to have kinetic energy. Since the ball is resting on the edge of a cliff, it is not actually moving so it does not have kinetic energy but the resting place of the ball is potential energy.
