Answer and Explanation in one:
In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors. So basically, you could possibly demonstrate with a variety of examples. One example may be just sitting on a table, waiting to get rolled off. I know it sounds silly, so here's another example. You are holding a bow and arrow, you pull back the arrow, aiming at the target. You are holding the arrow, filling it with potential energy. When it is let go, it is kinetic energy, the act of an object in motion, slowly riding of it's potential energy.
