Vedclass · Answer

(B) The projection of a vector $\vec{A}$ onto another vector $\vec{B}$ represents the scalar component of $\vec{A}$ along the direction of $\vec{B}$.Mathematically,the projection of $\vec{A}$ on $\vec{B}$ is given by the dot product of $\vec{A}$ with the unit vector in the direction of $\vec{B}$.Since the unit vector $\hat{B} = \frac{\vec{B}}{|\vec{B}|}$,the projection is $\vec{A} \cdot \hat{B} = \frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{B}|}$.
