The projection of $\hat{i}-\hat{j}$ on the vector $\hat{i}+\hat{j}$ is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 0
Let $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ be two vectors.
Projection of $\vec a$ on $\vec b$ = $\frac{a.b}{|b|^2}\hat b$
$a=\hat i-\hat j$
$b=\hat i+\hat j$
then,
$a.b=1×1-1×1=0$
∴ Projection of $\vec a$ on $\vec b$ = 0
