Solar energy is the correct answer. Two of the processes that make up the water cycle need solar energy and these include:

1. Transpiration- as plants absorb water from the soil, the soil, the water moves through the stem to the leaves . Once the water reaches the leaves , some of it evaporates from the leaves, adding to the amount of water vapor in the air. This process of evaporation from the leaves is known as transpiration and requires warmth of the sun (heat energy) to make temperatures jut right for it to take place

2. Evaporation- water that has returned to earth through precipitation and found in rivers, lakes, sea, and ponds when heated by the sun's thermal (solar) heat energy evaporates and as water vapor rises again into the atmosphere.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

Replacing we have that the Total Kinetic Energy is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (5*10^{-3})(300)^2$

$KE = 225J$

On the other hand the required Energy to heat up t melting point is

$Q_1 = mC_p \Delta T$

$Q_2 = L_f m$

Where,

m = Mass

$C_p =$ Specific Heat

$\Delta T =$ Change at temperature

$L_f =$ Latent heat of fussion

Heat required to heat up to melting point,

$Q = Q_1+Q_2$

$Q = mC_p \Delta T+L_f m$

$Q = 5*0.128*(327-20) + 5*24.7$

$Q = 310J$

The energy required to melt is larger than the kinetic energy. Therefore the heat of fusion of lead would be 327 ° C: The melting point of lead.

Answer:

Correct answer: 11. Total distance d = 200m ; 12. Vav = 3.63m/s ;

13. Total displacement Dt = 0m ; 14. V₂(10s-15s) = 0 m/s ;

15. V₃(15s-40s) = 4 m/s ; 16. V₁(0s-10s) = 6 m/s > V₄(40s-55s) = 2.67 m/s

Explanation:

The whole movement can be divided into four stages.

In the first stage the subject moves 60m in a positive direction for 10s,

in the other it is stationary for 5s, in the third it moves 100m in the opposite (negative) direction for 25s and in the fourth in the positive 40m for 15s.

11. Total distance = 60 + 0 + 100 + 40 = 200m

12. The formula for calculating the average speed (velocity) is

Vav = (S₁ + S₂ + S₃ + S₄) / (t₁ + t₂ + t₃ + t₄)

Vav = (60 + 0 + 100 + 40)/ (10 + 5 + 25 + 15) = 200/55 = 3.63 m/s

13. The movement started from the origin and ended at the origin

Total displacement is zero meters.

14. The speed between 10s and 15s is zero, because he did not move.

15. V₃ = S₃/t₃ = 100/25 = 4 m/s

16. V₁ = S₁/t₁ = 60/10 = 6 m/s and V₄ = S₄/t₄ = 40/15 = 2.67 m/s

V₁ > V₄

God is with you!!!
