    potential energy

    Explanation:

    An object has potential energy if it is above the ground. For example, if the basketball is sitting still on a table, it has potential energy but no kinetic energy. Potential energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object. Potential energy is associated with forces that act on a body in a way that the total work done by these forces on the body depends only on the initial and final positions of the body in space. So the balanced ball on basket ball hoop has stored energy in it i. e. potential energy.

    Potential energy as the basket ball has no net movement so it thus cannot be kinetic

    Also since the objects height off the ground has increased its gravitational potential energy will increase

    As GPE = height*mass*gfs

    So (gravitational) potential energy increases as there is now a height above zero
