    Default Unit Vector

    i don't really understand unit vector, so i don't know how to calculate this, can anyone please help me to solve it?

    A(10,0), B(5,8.7) find the unit vector v1 n v2, also find a unit vector w, which is perpendicular to v.

    After that find the new coordinate of C(5, 8.7) with the unit vector of AB.

    Thank you

    Since you do not specify, is this a math problem, a problem translating the math into java, or both? If it is a math problem, I'd encourage a quick google search as there are hundreds if not thousands of tutorials out there describing how to calculate a unit vector. If a java problem, what code do you have so far, and what specific questions about the code do you have?
