4 a   R = 16 + 12  +  (60 x 40)/(60+40) = 52 ohms

  b  V = I R  = .25 x 52 = 13 volts

  c   Voltage drop across R1 =  .25 (16) = 4

                                        R4 = .25 (12) = 3         13 - 4 - 3 = 6V across R2  (AND R3)

  d Current through R2 = V/R =  6/60 = .1 A     Power = I^2 R    or VA  =  .6 watts

I solved question #8 and got 6.3 m/s.

 

Is that right? Ill post my work later

# 8     Using Pythagorean theorem (to find the resultant distance from the starting point)

  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

250^2 + 575^2 = c^2     c= 626.99 meter      626.99 meters/ (45 + 55)seconds = 6.27 m/s average from her starting point(as a RESULTANT)  

 

 

Her ACTUAL average speed is  (250 + 575)/(45+55) = 8.25 m/s
