First, we must recall that distance is the total length traveled by an object in which the direction of the motion does not matter. Meanwhile, displacement is the distance of the object from its starting point which means the directions matters for displacement. 

Now, speed is distance over time while velocity is displacement over time. Since we're talking about the same object's motion, the total time traveled is (120 + 90) = 210 seconds.

Now, the total distance traveled by the object is (400 + 250) = 650 m. Meanwhile the total displacement traveled by the object is  400 m, East + 250 m, West = 150 m, East.

Now, to find the speed and velocity, we just divide the values of distance and displacement, respectively, over time. Thus, we have

speed = 650 m / 210s ≈ 3.095 m/s
velocity = 150 m, East /210 s ≈ 0.714 m/s, East

Now, rounding the values up to 2  significant digits, we have

a) speed = 3.1 m/s
b) velocity = 0.71 m/s, East

RSB [31]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Total current will be   18 v/ 8 ohms +   18v / 24 ohms = 3 amps

Equivalent resistance   =   1 / (1/8 + 1/24) = 6 Ω
