Question
Find the unit vector parallel to the vector $\hat{\text{i}}+\sqrt3\hat{\text{j}}$.
✓
Answer
Let $\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\sqrt3\hat{\text{j}}$
Then, $\big|\vec{\text{a}}\big|=\sqrt{1^2+\big(\sqrt3\big)^2}$
$=\sqrt{1+3}$
$=\sqrt4$
$=2$
Unit vector parallel to $\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{a}}=\frac{\vec{\text{a}}}{|\vec{\text{a}}|}=\frac{1}{2}\big(\hat{\text{i}}+\sqrt3\hat{\text{j}}\big)=\frac{1}2\hat{\text{i}}+\frac{\sqrt3}2\hat{\text{j}}$
