Gravitational force.
The amount of gravity pulling on an object is called weight. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object's mass.
Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity is pulling on an object. It is the force exerted by gravity on an object's mass.
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. It can feel heavy or light depending on the amount of force exerted due to gravity on an object. You feel weight through the sensation of pressure or resistance on your body when you are supporting or carrying an object.
Gravity is the force of attraction between matter. When an object exerts gravitational force on another object, the other object also 'pulls' the first object. These force vectors are equal and opposite. In the example of a person being pulled towards a planet, the planet is also being pulled towards the person with the same force between them. The planet just has a lot more mass and accordingly accelerates a great deal less. There is no force "pulling up", but the strength of your legs are pushing up. (the equal and opposite force required for stability).
An object falls from a height due to the force of gravity acting on it. Gravity is the attraction between two objects with mass, pulling them towards each other. When the force of gravity is greater than the supporting force keeping the object at rest, the object will fall.

The object can be stationary and have gravity pulling on it ergo no kinetic energy
mass of the object pulling

The word is "gravity." It refers to the force of attraction that exists between any two masses, and it is responsible for pulling objects toward the center of another object, such as the Earth.

Most folks call that the object's weight.
it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.
