The Dot Product
If the sum of two unit vectors is a vector of length $\frac{1+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}$, then the angle between the two given vectors is (a) 0 (b) $\frac{\pi}{3}$ (c) $\frac{\pi}{2}$ (d) $\frac{\pi}{6}$
If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ are unit vectors such that $\vec{a} \mid \vec{b} \quad \vec{c}-0$, then the angle between $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is (a) $\frac{\pi}{6}$ (b) $\frac{\pi}{3}$ (c) $\frac{\pi}{2}$ (d) $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
