Best Answer

any length between 1.5 and 8.5 meters depending on the angle between the vectors.

find the dot product of the two vectors to find the magnitude.

e.g. two vectors

a x

b . y

c z

gives a.x+b.y+c.z= your final answer. The dots mean times by (btw)

Does a unit vector have direction?

No it doesn't. A unit vector indicates direction only. The length of the orthogonal components are RELATIVE to the absolute length of the vector, thus cannot have a unit. For instance, let X'=X/x where X is a vector, x is a scalar and X' is a unit vector. X has length and direction and x has length only, thus X' has direction only. Here's an example. C = A + B where A=3m*A' and B=4m*B' (where A and B are orthogonal) cC' = aA' + bB' C' = (a/c)A' + (b/c)B' = xA' + yB' c = sqrt(3m^2+4m^2) = 5m (by pythagorous) x = (3m/5m) = (3/5) (notice that the units cancel out!) y = (4m/5m) = (4/5) (notice that the units cancel out!)
