Step by step solution

01

To understand the concept of the given problem

Here, vector law of addition and subtraction is used to find the resultant of vector a→+b→and b→-a→in unit-vector notation. Further using the general formula for the magnitude and the angle, the magnitude and the angle of the given vector a→+b→andb→-a→ can be calculated.

Formulae to be used.

a→+b→=axiÁåœ+ayjÁåœ+bxiÁåœ+byjÁåœa→+b→=ax+bxiÁåœ+ay+byjÁåœr=\a→+b→\=ax+bx2+ay+by2θ=tan1ax+bxay+by

b→-a→=bxiÁåœ+byjÁåœ-axiÁåœ-ayjÁåœb→-a→=bx-axiÁåœ+by-ayjÁåœr=\b→-a→\=bx-ax2+by-ay2θ=tan1bx-axby-ayGivenare,a→=3.00miÁåœ+4.0mjÁåœb→=5.00miÁåœ+-2.0mjÁåœ

02

To write in unit-vector notation

Asa→=3.0miÁåœ+4.0mjÁåœandb→=5.0miÁåœ+-2.0mjÁåœso,a→+b→=3.0miÁåœ+4.0mjÁåœ+5.0miÁåœ+-2.0mjÁåœa→+b→=8.0miÁåœ+2.0mjÁåœ

03

To calculate magnitude of a→+b→

Magnitudeofa→+b→isa→+b→=8.0m2+2.0m2a→+b→=8.2m

04

To calculate angle between  a→+b→ and x axis

The angle between a→+b→and x axis is

tan-12.0m8.0m=14°

05

To write b→-a→ in unit-vector notation

a→=3.0miÁåœ+4.0mjÁåœandb→=5.0miÁåœ+-2.0mjÁåœso,b→-a→=5.0miÁåœ+-2.0mjÁåœ-3.0miÁåœ+4.0mjÁåœb→-a→=2.0miÁåœ-6.0mjÁåœ

06

To find magnitude of b→-a→

Magnitudeofb→-a→isb→-a→=2.0m2+-60m2b→-a→=6.3m
