Question

find the scalar and vector prokection of the vector b = <-3, -4, -2> on to the vector a = <-1, -3, -3>
scalar projection (i.e., component):__________
Vector projection <___,___,___>

Answer 1

Start by finding the unit vector along \(\hat{a}\)

Answer 2

projection of \(\vec{b}\) along \(\vec{a}\) = \(\vec{b} . \hat{a}\)
