The situation that would be appropriate for the transfer of energy from kinetic energy into gravitational potential energy is: a ball being dropped off of a cliff.
Explanation:
When an object is dropped off a cliff, it initially has kinetic energy due to its motion. As it falls, its kinetic energy decreases, while its gravitational potential energy increases. This is because the object is moving against the force of gravity, leading to a conversion of energy from kinetic to potential. At the bottom of the fall, all of the original kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy.
