A robot is moving across a flat surface. Its velocity vector is given by v=4,-3>
meters per second, where the x-component represents motion to the right and the
y-component represents motion upward.
(a) Find the component of the robot's velocity in the direction of the positive x -
axis. (This is the scalar projection onto the x -axis)
(b) Find the component of the robots velocity in the direction of the vector u =
3,4>.(This requires finding the vector projection onto the vector u)
A robot is moving across a flat surface. Its
