Find the scalar and vector projection of the vector \(\mathbf{b} = (-2, -3, 2)\) onto the vector \(\mathbf{a} = (5, -1, 1)\).

Scalar projection (i.e., component): ______

Vector projection: ______

Answer :

Component of b on a .9622 projection of b on a = 25/root(27),-1/root(27),1/root(27)

A quantity or phenomena with independent qualities for both magnitude and direction is called a vector. The term can also refer to a quantity's mathematical or geometrical representation. Velocity, momentum, force, electromagnetic fields, and weight are a few examples of vectors in nature.

vector a = (5,-1,1)

vector b = (-2,-3,2)

Scalar projection of b onto a

comp of b on a = a.b/ |a|

a.b = 5*-2+-1*-3 + 1*2 = 5

|a| = [tex]\sqrt{5^{2}+-1^{2}+1^{2} }[/tex]

|a| = [tex]\sqrt{27}[/tex]

component of b on a = a.b/|a|

= 5/[tex]\sqrt{27}[/tex]

=.9622

Vector projection of b onto a

projection of b on a =( a.b/[tex](|a|)^){2}[/tex]).a

a.b/|a| = .9622

( a.b/[tex](|a|)^){2}[/tex]).a = 5/[tex]\sqrt{27}[/tex](5,-1,1)

projection of b on a = 25/root(27),-1/root(27),1/root(27)
