Yes, they certainly can.
Simplest example:
(10 pounds north) + (4 pounds south) + (6 pounds south) = Zero.
But any number of non-zero vectors, more than one, can add up to zero
if they have the right magnitudes and directions.

Can two vectors of unequal magnitude add up to give the zero vector?
No. The vector resultant of addition of vectors is the vector that would connect the tail of the first vector to the head of the last. For any set of vectors to add to the zero vector, the endpoint of the last vector added must be coincident with the start point of the first. Therefore for the sum of only two vectors to have a chance of being the zero vector, the second vector must be in a direction exactly opposite the first. So you can tell that the result of adding the two vectors could only can be zero vector if the two vectors were of two equal magnitude.
Can the sum of two vectors of unequal magnitudes be a zero vector?
The sum of two unequal vectors can not be zero, because we can get minimum magnitude of two vectors when they are in opposite direction and can only get zero magnitude when they are equal in magnitude.................................... Answered by: SAJJAD AHMED(bfps doha Qatar)
Is it possible two unequal vector to give a zero resultant?
The only way that two vectors add up to zero is if they have equal magnitude and opposite direction. If the magnitudes are not equal then no, they cannot give a zero resultant.
Is it possible to combine two unequal vectors to give a zero resultant?
No.
Can two vectors having different magnitude be compined to give a zero resultant can three vector?
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.

What is the Minimum number of vectors with unequal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
-- A singe vector with a magnitude of zero produces a zero resultant.-- Two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite directions produce a zero resultant.
If two vector have equal magnitudes can their sum be zero Explain?
Sum of two vectors can only be zero if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. So no two vector of unequal magnitude cannot be added to give null vector. Three vectors of equal magnitude and making an angle 120 degrees with each other gives a zero resultant.
Is it possible to combine two unequal vectors to give a zero resultant?
No.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant.is it possible for three such vectors?
Two vectors with unequal magnitudes can't add to zero, but three or more can.
Can two vectors having different magnitude be compined to give a zero resultant can three vector?
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.
Can two vectors of same magnitude add to give zero resultant vector?
Yes.
When Two vectors have unequal magnitude can their sum be zero explain reason?
No two vectors of unequal magnitude cannot give the sum 0 because for 0 sum the 2 vectors must be equal and in opposite direction
What is the least number of non-zero vectors that can be added to give a resultant equal to zero?
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
A vedtor which is perpendicular to every vector?
The zero vector is not perpendicular to all vectors, but it is orthogonal to all vectors.
