Answer: \frac{1}{2}

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: What is the cosine of angle with vector \sqrt{2\hat{i}}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} makes with y – axis

Solution: \sqrt{2\hat{i}}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}

Direction cosines are

\begin{aligned} &\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{(\sqrt{2})^{2}+(1)^{2}+(1)^{2}}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{(\sqrt{2})^{2}+(1)^{2}+(1)^{2}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{(\sqrt{2})^{2}+(1)^{2}+(1)^{2}}} \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\text { OR } \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}

Cosine angle along y-axis is \frac{1}{2}
