The vector projection of a vector 3i^+4k^3\widehat i + 4\widehat k on y-axis is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Zero
Option D (Zero) is correct because the vector projection onto the y-axis depends only on the y-component of the vector, which is zero in this case.

vertically upwards, another body B is
horizontally thrown and a third body C is
thrown vertically downwards with the same
velocity
