MCQ
Projection of vector $\vec A$ on $\vec B$ is
  • A
    $\mathop A\limits^ \to .\mathop B\limits^ \to $
  • $\mathop A\limits^ \to .\hat B$
  • C
    $\mathop B\limits^ \to .\mathop A\limits^ \to $
  • D
    $\hat A.\hat B$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\mathop A\limits^ \to .\hat B$
b
The projection of $\vec{A}$ on $\vec{B}$ is a vector with length $P Q$ which begins at $P$ in the same direction as $\vec{B}$.

The projection of $\vec{A}$ on $\vec{B}$ is defined as $\frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{B}|}=\vec{A} \cdot \hat{B}$
