The potential energy of an object depends on its?
... the masses of the bodies involved and the distance between them.
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is?
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.
What are some examples of energy transfer?
The exact details vary, depending on the types of energy involved. You may want to ask specific questions about specific types of energy transfer. I will give a few examples: An object falling down. While the potential energy (related to height) decreases, the kinetic energy (related to speed) increases. The same object touches the ground. Most of the movement energy is converted to random molecular movement, i.e., to heat. The Sun radiates energy: Heat (thermal energy) is converted into light and other electromagnetic waves (radiation energy). An object hits another object; part of the energy is converted to sound energy: Quite simply, the collision makes the objects vibrate; these collisions are transmitted through the air (for example), as sound waves.

What is the change of potential energy when a box is pushed 10.0 ft across a level floor by a force of 50 lb?
The net potential energy is zero to begin with, so it is zero to end with, and thus the change is zero as well. The reason for this is because the box doesn't have the ability to fall (or spontaneously react, depending on the contents!) as far as we know because the problem you've given says that we are on a level floor.If it were an incline, you'd form a right triangle by stating the length it moved along the incline and the angle. You would then solve sinΘ=height/hypotenuse for the height, then you'd plug that into an equation that you should find in your textbook or equation sheet.
