Is the vector sum of the unit vectors and
a unit vector? If no, can you multiply this sum by a scalar number to get a unit vector?
If we take the vector sum of unit vectors and
, as per the vector law of addition the resultant vector magnitude is not unit, but it is
. The angle between
and
is 90° , thus we have
. This sum can be multiplied by a scalar in order to get a unit vector, by multiplying the resultant with
we can get a unit vector. Thus, we have
