Example 3.3 The Sum of Two Vectors
Find the sum of two vectors A and B lying in the xy plane
and given by
A = (2.01 + 2.0j) m
B = (2.0î – 4.0j)
and
%3D

%3D
Solution You may wish to draw the vectors to conceptualize
the situation. We calegorize this as a simple plug-in problem.
Comparing this expression for A with the general expres-
sion A = A, i + A,j, we see that A
Likewise, B = 2.0 m and B, = - 4.0 m. We obtain the resul-
tant vector R, using Equation 3.14:
2.0 m and A, = 2.0 m.

R = A + B = (2.0 + 2.0)î m + (2.0 – 4.0)j m
= (4.0i – 2.0j) n
or
R= 4.0 m
R, = - 2.0 m
