Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find a unit vector in the XY-plane that makes an angle of 30° with the positive direction of the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Unit Vectors**: A unit vector is a vector that has a magnitude of 1. In the XY-plane, any vector can be expressed in terms of its components along the x-axis and y-axis. 2. **Components of the Vector**: If a vector makes an angle θ with the positive x-axis, its components can be expressed as: - \( \text{Component along x-axis} = \cos(\theta) \) ...
