To solve the problem of finding the value of \(|\vec{a} - \vec{b}|\) given that the angle between the unit vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is \(60^\circ\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Properties of Unit Vectors Since \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are unit vectors, we know that: \[ |\vec{a}| = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad |\vec{b}| = 1 \] ...
