Sure. For one example, if their magnitudes are equal and their directions are spaced

120 degrees apart, then they add to zero. There are an infinite number of other sets

of magnitudes and directions that add to zero, i.e. have a zero resultant.

How many minimum of vectors are required in space to get resultant zero?

Assuming you want non-zero vectors, two opposing vectors will give a resultant of zero.


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.


How can you add three vectors of equal magnitude in a plane such as their resultant is zero?

Take any three vectors in a plane which, when placed end-to-end form a triangle. The resultant of the three vectors will be zero.


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.


What are the direction of two vectors when their resultant is zero?

opposite


What is the resultant of two vectors?

The resultant of two vectors is a third vector., for example V1 + V2 = V3. V3 may be equal to zero, greater than zero or less than zero.


When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?

Thee direction of the two vectors.


Ten vectors together add to give a zero resultant it is possible that nine of these vectors are on the same plane but the tenth is not on this plane?

No. The tenth vector would have to be matched by one equal and opposite vector to yield a zero resultant, or by multiple vectors in the second plain collectively yielding a zero resultant for that plane. It would be possible, for example, for 8 vectors to be on the same plane and two on a different plane to give a zero resultant.


Is it possible to add two vectors having different magnitudes and yield zero resultant?

It is certain that two vectors of different magnitudes cannot yield a zero resultant force.


When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?

The zero-vector has no direction.


What is the three vectors arrangement if their resultant is zero?

A triangle of vectors, in which the sides are the three vectors arranged head-tail.


Can two vectors of different magnitudes give a zero resultant?

No.
