gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

Wile E. Coyote is likely in a position where he's elevated (e.g., on a cliff or ledge), so the potential energy stored is due to height in a gravitational field. Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's height relative to a reference point. Elastic potential energy is from deformed elastic objects (like springs), and kinetic energy is energy of motion (not potential here).

Answer:

gravitational potential energy
