Can a vector have a component greater than its magnitude in higher level physics?

yeah, it can. for example consider two antiparallel vectors of magnitude 5,3 whose resultant is 2, which is smaller than both components.....

Explain the effect of changing the angle of projection on the magnitude of maximum height?
"the higher the altitude the lower the range "
What is the higher number .1 or .01?
0.1 is greater.
Why is the resultant of the two vectors always closer to the vector having higher magnitude?
Consider a box being pulled by two people in the top and the right direction. If the person who is pulling the box from the right is the stronger person, he exerts more force on the box [i.e, the magnitude of the force exerted toward the right is higher], it is more likely that the box will move in his direction. Quite similarly, when considering the resultant of two vectors, the resultant is bound to be closer to the higher magnitude. I hope that made sense.
Which amount is higher 0.6 0.8 0.25?
0.8 is the greater.
Is 0.35 greater than 0.4 and why is it?
No, 0.4 is higher because it's much greater than 0.35. It may have more digits but it's a decimal. 0.4 is Higher than 0.3999999999999999999999999999.
When the magnitude of kc is very large it indicate?
IF by "kc" you mean the outdated term kilocycles [a measurement of frequency, usually used in measuring electromagnetic radiation (radio)] then the larger (greater) the magnitude, the higher the frequency and the shorter the wavelength. This is basic physics... Your description indicates a poor mastery of technical English.
Which star is giving off more light?
Those with a higher luminosity or a greater absolute magnitude.
Would an earthquake be more severe if it had a higher or lower magnitude?
An earthquake with a higher magnitude would generally be more severe. Magnitude measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake, so a higher magnitude indicates a stronger earthquake with more potential to cause damage. However, the severity also depends on other factors including the depth of the earthquake, population density, and building infrastructure in the affected area.
What percentage of total earthquakes have a magnitude greater than 6.0?
For earthquakes world-wide from 2000 to 2012 there were ~ 2092 quakes with a magnitude 6.0 or higher or less than 1% of the total 332,723 recorded earthquakes according to the USGS National Earthquake Information Center.
What is a stars brightness known as?
A star's brightness is known as its magnitude. Stars with lower magnitude numbers are brighter than stars with a higher magnitude number.
When is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer negative?
When the absolute value of the negative number is higher than the positive number.
How many earthquakes over magnitude 8 were recored in 1901?
There is no record of an 8.0 or higher magnitude earthquake during the year
How many earthquakes over magnitude 8 were recorded in 1904?
There is no record of an 8.0 or higher magnitude earthquake during the year
What is momentum in physics?
In physics, momentum = mass x velocityhigher the mass or higher the velocity, higher is the momentum. Note, momentum is a vector quantity i.e it has both magnitude and direction. For instance, when two bodies A of velocity 3m/s and B of velocity 6m/s both of equal masses collide, A moves in the direction of B. Mathematically, the momentum of A is given a negative sign(-) meaning that the momentum of A is in the direction of B
What is order if magnitude?
A magnitude is factor of 10 An order of magnitude is a factor of "about 10". Two orders of magnitude is about 100. For example, if something is two orders of magnitude higher than 3, it would be about 300. Order in this case means about, or approximate. To the nearest order of magnitude , 3200 is 3000
Statment between the magnitude of a earthquake and how often earthquakes of the magnitude occur?
One statement you could write is that "Earthquakes of higher magnitudes are much rarer than those of lower magnitudes". The magnitude of earthquakes is a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude of 8 is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 7. This is why earthquakes of higher magnitudes are so much rarer than those of lower magnitudes.
Which's difficult math or physics?
physics in the higher levels is much like maths, i feel that physics is definitely more interesting. difficult, depends what you are inclined on.
