Any object above ground level has gravitational potential energy. Actually, ground level is commonly chosen as the reference level, but any other level may be chosen as well. The choice is arbitrary.

How does kinetic energy of the ball relate to the bounce of the ball?
kinetic energy is enegy being used, the opposite of potential energy, which is energy being stored, or waiting to be used. When a ball bounces it is using its energy. When a ball is held by a person, it holds potential energy, or the potential to use energy.
Which device is used for converting potential energy into kinetic energy?
There is no "device" that is used to convert potential energy (PE) to kinetic energy (KE). PE is energy of position, for example, a bowling ball held over your head has the potential of breaking your foot if it were to fall. KE is energy of motion, for example, the energy the bowling ball has as it is falling toward your foot. The amount of PE the bowling ball had when it was motionless at some height above your head is approximately equal to the amount of KE the bowling ball has just before it lands on your foot.
What kind of energy does a hammer have when it is held above a nail?
The hammer will have potential energy. It is because of the height.
What kind of energy does a hammer have when it is held high above a nail?
The hammer will have potential energy. It is because of the height.
What is a type of potential energy?
kenetic is energy in motion and potential energy is energy that is stored.
What is a example of an object with potential energy?
A ball held above your head. It has stored potential energy because it will become kinetic energy when dropped.
What energy is stored in an object held above your head?
Potential energy is stored in an object held above your head.
What is the potential energy of a 500g ball held at a height of 0.800m?
The ball's potential energy at 0.8 meters is 3.92 joules.

What is energy stored energy?
Potential
What kind of energy does a hammer have when it is held high above a nail?
The hammer will have potential energy. It is because of the height.
Is a hammer held above a nail kinetic energy?
No, the word 'Kinetic' literally means moving. So Kinetic energy literally means moving energy. If your hammer is above a nail then it is not moving... and so it is not kinetic energy.
What is a type of potential energy?
kenetic is energy in motion and potential energy is energy that is stored.
A 20 kg mass is held above the ground What is the approximate potential energy of the mass with respect to the ground?
The potential energy, expressed in joules, is 196 times its height above ground, expressed in meters.
What stores enegry?
Stored energy is potential energy. Whether it's chemical potential(energy in chemical bonds) or gravitational potential energy(an object held at a certain height above the ground).
