Question:

If \(a\) and \(b\) are two unit vectors inclined at an angle \(\frac{\pi}{3}\), then the value of \(\left|\vec{a}+\vec{b}\right|\) is

Options:

\(0\)

greater than \(1\)

less than \(1\)

None

Correct Answer:

greater than \(1\)

Explanation:
\(\begin{aligned}|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|^{2}&=1+1+2\cos \frac{\pi}{3}\\ &=2+\sqrt{3}\\ |\vec{a}+\vec{b}|&>1\end{aligned}\)
