Yes. Imagine an equilateral triangle. If two vectors are in the directions - and lengths - of two of the sides, the resultant will be the third side (depending on the directions chosen, of course).
Yes. If the two vectors are two sides of an equilateral triangle, then the resultant is the third side and therefore equal in magnitude.
Its magnitude would be the sum of all the magnitudes, and the direction would be the same as the component vectors.
It is not possible. The maximum magnitude is obtained when the vectors are aligned and in this case the resultant has a magnitude which is the sum of the individual vectors. In the given example, the maximum possible magnitude for the resultant is 16 units. In general |a+b| <= |a| + |b| where a, b are vectors and |a| is the magnitude of a
yes
The magnitude depends on the angle between the vectors. The magnitude could be from 0 to 600 N.

Let two equal magnitude vectors be 'X'.. Then, resultant=1.414X
If their sum (resultant) is 0, then the magnitude of the resultant must be 0.
yes
if you add the vectors magnitude and equal to resultant the angle between them is 0

Yes - if the vectors are at an angle of 60 degrees. In that case, the two vectors, and the resultant, form an equilateral triangle.Yes - if the vectors are at an angle of 60 degrees.

Yes.
Magnitude? Yes. Simple answer: think of it as a triangle. Can a triangle have three sides of the same length? Yes. Long answer: there really isn't a long answer. To get the resultant of two vectors, one would add up the components of each vector. While it is impossible to add two vectors of the same magnitude and derive a resultant of the same magnitude AND DIRECTION as one of the vectors, one need only to create a directional difference of exactly 60 degrees between the first two vectors to result in a resultant of like magnitude. Math really is the most perfect language. Vectors are to triangles what optics are to to the study of conics!
