Answer:
These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.
Distance traveled by the ball is given by

here we know that
speed = 20 m/s
times = 0.25 s
now we have


so ball will travel 5 m distance in the given interval of time
