Answer:

A yo-yo in someone's hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its position. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the body due to virtue of its motion.

A swimmer kicking their legs, a car driving on the road, an arrow flying at a target possess kinetic energy because of their motion. A yo-yo in someone's hand possess elastic potential energy.
