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.

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

A wheel with a radius of 45.0 cmrolls without slipping along a horizontal floor (Fig). At time t, the dot P painted on the rim of the wheel is at the point of contact between the wheel and the floor. At a later time t2, the wheel has rolled through one-half of a revolution. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to the floor) of the displacement of P?

Equation 3-2 shows that the addition of two vectorsa⇶Äandb⇶Äis commutative. Does that mean subtraction is commutative, so thata⇶Ä-b⇶Ä=b⇶Ä-a⇶Ä?

A car is driven east for a distance of 50 km, then north for 30 km, and then in a direction 30°east of north for 25 km . Sketch the vector diagram and determine (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle of the car’s total displacement from its starting point.
