Step-by-Step Solution

  1. The projection vector of vector \(\vec{a}\) on vector \(\vec{b}\) is given by the formula: \[ \text{proj}_{\vec{b}} \vec{a} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} \vec{b} \]
  2. Comparing the given options with the formula, we find that option (A) matches the correct formula.

Correct Answer: \((\frac{\vec{a}\cdot\vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^{2}})\vec{b}\)
