(A) Since $\overrightarrow A \cdot \overrightarrow B = |A||B| \cos \theta = AB \cos \theta$,given $AB \cos \theta = AB$,we have $\cos \theta = 1$,so $\theta = 0^\circ$.
$(b)$ At maximum height,the vertical component of velocity becomes zero,so the velocity is only the horizontal component,which is $u \cos \theta$.
$(c)$ The projection of a vector $\vec{V} = x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k$ on the $y$-axis is the $y$-component,which is $-2$.
