This form of energy results from the fact that there is the potential for the wrecking ball to do work.
It increases the potential energy of the molecules, since they separate from each other.
Potential energy
Potential energy is energy that is stored within an object, and this energy may do work. Gravity is what gives the potential energy to any object, and is a result of gravity pulling down
Elastic potential energy refers to the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. An example of this is a spring, which springs back before it has gained elastic potential energy. After a spring gains elastic potential energy, it will be deformed.
Potential Energy (change of position) and latent energy (change of state condition as freezing)
That is called potential energy.

Potential energy
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses by reason of its position in a gravitational field. While elastic potential energy, is the energy stored by a material or object as a result of deformation e.g. the energy stored in a bow when it is stretched.

It is a Kinetic energy and energy in any object due to its height is a result of potential energy.
Elastic potential energy refers to the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. An example of this is a spring, which springs back before it has gained elastic potential energy. After a spring gains elastic potential energy, it will be deformed.
Gravitational potential energy or GPE.
