The document discusses several examples of energy transfers: 1) A dropped ball transfers gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy when falling and elastic potential energy when bouncing, with some energy lost as heat each time. 2) When a basketball bounces after a tennis ball drops on it, the basketball transfers some kinetic energy to the tennis ball but is not slowed much due to its greater mass. 3) A dropped basketball does not bounce as high when a tennis ball is dropped on it first, as the tennis ball does not have enough momentum to transfer significant energy back to the basketball.
