Answer

a) RMS voltage = $3.75V$, Peak voltage = $5.3V$ b) Average power = $2.8125W$

Work Step by Step

a) $R=5Ohm, I_{rms}=0.75A$ Thus, RMS voltage = $R\times I_{rms}=5\times 0.75=3.75A$, Peak voltage = $\sqrt 2 V_{rms}=\sqrt 2\times 3.75V=5.3V$. b) Average Power = $V_{rms}\times I_{rms}=3.75\times 0.75=2.8125W$
