Only if one of them has a magnitude of zero, so, effectively, no.

Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of the vectors explain?
Yes, if one of the vectors is the null vector.
How can the resultant of two vecters of the same magnitude be equal to the magnitude of either vector?
If the directions of two vectors with equal magnitudes differ by 120 degrees, then the magnitude of their sum is equal to the magnitude of either vector.
The vector sum of three vectors gives a resultant equal to zero What can you say about the vectors?
With three vectors spaced 120 degrees apart and with identical magnitudes the vector sum will be 0.
Can the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever b equal to the the sum of these two vectors?
Not really. The sum of the magnitudes is a scalar, not a vector - so they can't be equal. But the sum of the two vectors can have the same magnitude, if both vectors point in the same direction.
What is the minimum number of vectors with equal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
Two is the minimum number of vectors that will sum to zero.
Can the sum of two vectors be equal to either of the vectors explain?
Yes, if one of the vectors is the null vector.
How can the resultant of two vecters of the same magnitude be equal to the magnitude of either vector?
If the directions of two vectors with equal magnitudes differ by 120 degrees, then the magnitude of their sum is equal to the magnitude of either vector.
When is the vector sum not equal in magnitude to the algebraic sum?
The magnitude of the vector sum will only equal the magnitude of algebraic sum, when the vectors are pointing in the same direction.
The vector sum of three vectors gives a resultant equal to zero What can you say about the vectors?
With three vectors spaced 120 degrees apart and with identical magnitudes the vector sum will be 0.
When is the vector sum equal in magnitude to the algebraic sum?
When the angle between any two component vectors is either zero or 180 degrees.
Is the sum of two vectors of equal magnitude equal to the magnitude of either vectors AND their difference root 3 times the magnitude of each vector?
iff the angle between them is 120 degrees
Can the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever b equal to the the sum of these two vectors?
Not really. The sum of the magnitudes is a scalar, not a vector - so they can't be equal. But the sum of the two vectors can have the same magnitude, if both vectors point in the same direction.
What is the minimum number of vectors with equal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
Two is the minimum number of vectors that will sum to zero.
When the angle between two vectors is equal to zero?
When the angle between two vectors is zero ... i.e. the vectors are parallel ... their sum is a vector in thesame direction, and with magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two original vectors.
When is the vector sum of two quatities equal in magnitude to the scalar sum?
When all the vectors have the same direction.
Under what condition the sum of three vectors will be zero?
Three vectors sum to zero under the condition that they are coplanar (lie in a common plane) and form a triangle. If the vectors are not coplanar, they will not sum to zero. Another way of looking at it is that the sum is zero if any vector is exactly equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the vector sum (so-called resultant) of the remaining two.
Can the resultant of two vectors be equal to zero?
Yes. A vector has magnitude and direction. If the vectors have equal magnitude and directly opposite directions their sum will be zero.
