Answer with explanation:
The given vectors in are reduced to their componednt form as shown
For vector A it can be written as
[tex]\overrightarrow{v}_{a}=16cos(44^{o})\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}[/tex]
Similarly vector B can be written as
[tex]\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=-13\widehat{i}[/tex]
Hence The sum and difference is calculated as
[tex]\overrightarrow{v}_{a}+\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=16cos(44^{o})\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}+(-13\widehat{i})\\\\\overrightarrow{v}_{a}+\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=(16cos(44^{o})-13)\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}\\\\\therefore \overrightarrow{v}_{a}+\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=-1.49\widehat{i}+11.11\widehat{j}\\\\\therefore |\overrightarrow{v}_{a}+\overrightarrow{v}_{b}|=\sqrt{(-1.49)^{2}+11.11^{2}}=11.21m[/tex]
The direction is given by
[tex]\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{r_{y}}{r_{x}}\\\\\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{11.11}{-1.49}=97.64^{o}[/tex]with positive x axis.
Similarly
[tex]\overrightarrow{v}_{a}-\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=16cos(44^{o})\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}-(-13\widehat{i})\\\\\overrightarrow{v}_{a}-\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=(16cos(44^{o})+13)\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}\\\\\therefore \overrightarrow{v}_{a}-\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=24.51\widehat{i}+11.11\widehat{j}\\\\\therefore |\overrightarrow{v}_{a}-\overrightarrow{v}_{b}|=\sqrt{(24.51)^{2}+11.11^{2}}=26.91m[/tex]
The direction is given by
[tex]\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{r_{y}}{r_{x}}\\\\\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{11.11}{24.51}=24.38^{o}[/tex]with positive x axis.
