Inertia.
Yes, if an object is not in motion, it will stay that way unless a force acts on it.
The tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion (either at rest or moving at a constant velocity) is known as inertia. This property causes objects to resist changes in their motion unless acted upon by an external force.
When equal and opposite forces act on an object, the net force on the object is zero. However, these forces can still cause the object to move if there is no other force acting to counteract their effect. The object will move due to inertia, which is the tendency of an object to maintain its current state of motion.
Some examples of mechanical equilibrium include a stationary object resting on a table, a hanging object at rest, and a person standing still on the ground. In each case, the forces acting on the object are balanced, resulting in no net acceleration or movement.
The main force acting on a still object is typically the force of gravity pulling it down towards the Earth. Other forces, such as friction and air resistance, may also act on the object depending on the surface it is resting on and the environment it is in.

Yes, an object with potential energy still has inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, and this property is not affected by the presence of potential energy in the object.
If light travels through an object, it is still called light. If you want to specify, you might say "light travelling through an object".

Static Electricity
Yes, an object in free fall still has inertia, which is its tendency to resist changes in its state of motion. In this case, the object's inertia keeps it moving at a constant velocity until acted upon by a force like gravity or air resistance.
The kinetic energy of the object when it is still at rest on the edge of the cliff is zero because it has no motion. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion, so as long as the object is stationary, it has no kinetic energy.
An objects tendency to resist a change in motion
Either something is in motion, or it isn't - you can't be "in motion when not in motion".However, when an object is resting, its individual parts (atoms or molecules) still move around, and they do so rather quickly.
