Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(|\vec{a}|^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{a} = a_x \hat{i} + a_y \hat{j} + a_z \hat{k}\) \((\vec{a} \cdot \hat{i})^2+(\vec{a} \cdot \hat{j})^2+(\vec{a} \cdot \hat{k})^2 = (a_x)^2 + (a_y)^2 + (a_z)^2\) \(= |\vec{a}|^2\)
