Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To prove that the magnitude of the difference of two unit vectors \( \hat{A} \) and \( \hat{B} \) is \( \sqrt{3} \) given that their sum is also a unit vector, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Information**: - Let \( \hat{A} \) and \( \hat{B} \) be two unit vectors. - We know that \( \hat{A} + \hat{B} = \hat{C} \), where \( \hat{C} \) is also a unit vector. ...
