\(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) are two vectors given by \(\vec{A}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}\) and \(\vec{B}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}\). The magnitude of the component of \(\vec{A}\) along \(\vec{B}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnitude of components of \(\vec{A}\) along \(\vec{B}=\frac{\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|\vec{B}|}=\frac{(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j})(\hat{i}+\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\)
