16. All distances in this solution are understood to be in meters.

(a) a + b = (3.0 î + 4.0 ĵ) + (5.0 î − 2.0 ĵ) = 8.0 î + 2.0 ĵ .


(b) The magnitude of a + b is 
|a + b| = 8.02 + 2.02 = 8.2 m .

(c) The angle between this vector and the +x axis is tan−1 (2.0/8.0) = 14◦ .
(d) b − a = (5.0 î − 2.0 ĵ) − (3.0 î + 4.0 ĵ) = 2.0 î − 6.0 ĵ .
(e) The magnitude of the difference vector b − a is

|b − a| = 2.02 + (−6.0)2 = 6.3 m .

(f) The angle between this vector and the +x axis is tan−1 (−6.0/2.0) = −72◦ . The vector is 72◦
clockwise from the axis defined by î.
