Miss Smith picks up a book drop it and allow it to hit the floor is the answer. This does shows an energy transfer to an object or is it this does not show in energy transfer to an object.

When Miss Smith picks up a book and drops it, the scenario demonstrates an energy transfer. Initially, when she lifts the book, she does work against gravity, giving the book potential energy. When she drops the book, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon hitting the floor, some of that energy is transferred to the floor and may cause vibrations or sound, while some of it is also dissipated as heat. Therefore, the action of dropping the book does show energy transfer to an object (the book itself in the form of kinetic energy, and the floor as well).
