Yes, as long as the direction is exactly opposite (180 degrees from each other).
A vector has both magnitude and direction.

What are unit vectors?
a unit vector is a vector which has exact same direction and has its length or magnitude equal to one
When the vector product of two vectors is zero?
When they point in the same direction.
What are negative vector?
Convenient notation for vectors of the same magnitude but in the opposite direction.
How do you add two or more vectors?
Vectors are represented by arrows. They represent something that has magnitude, expressed by the length of the arrow, and direction shown by the direction the arrow head points away from the reference system. Vector addition is really quite simple. Make sure all vectors of interest use the same units of magnitude. Pick a vector and place the tail of the arrow on the intersection of the reference system. Do not change it's direction or magnitude. Take the next vector you wish to add and place the tail at the tip of the arrow of the first vector. Again, do not change either direction or magnitude. Do this with all vectors you wish to add. Remember, NEVER CHANGE MAGNITUDE OR DIRECTION. When you draw a new vector from the origin of the reference to the tip of the last vector in the chain of vectors being added, the new vector is the sum of all the vectors in the chain.
What is the angel when vector a is same as vector b and there resultant is same as given vector a and b?
If vector a and b are truly identical, their resultant angle will be the same. Their resultant velocity will not be the same, however. Assuming you mean the magnitudes are the same, the two vectors will be at an angle of 120o
Displacement vectors of 3m and 5m in the same direction combine to make a displacement vector that is?
2 m
What displacement vectors of 3 meters and 5 meters in the same direction combine to make a displacement vector?
8 meters
What are unit vectors?
a unit vector is a vector which has exact same direction and has its length or magnitude equal to one
What is a Resultant Vectors?
resultant vector is a vector which will have the same effect as the sum of all the component vectors taken together.
What is complainer vector?
Coplanar vectors are vectors lying in the same plane.
How man joules of work are done on an object when a force of 10 N pushes it distance of 10 m?
One data is not given. Is the direction of displacement the same as that of the force? If so then the angle between displacement vector and force vector will be 0 Work done = force vector . displacement vector ( dot product) So W = F s cos @. @ is the angle between force and displacement vectors. In this sum @ = 0, same direction. So work done = 10 x 10 x cos 0 = 100 J
How can simultaneous vectors be combined to form a resultant vector using pencil and paper?
Start with a point O. Draw a line OA in the direction of the first vector and whose length represents the magnitude of that vector (to some scale). From A, draw the line AB in the direction of the second vector and whose length represents the magnitude of that second vector (to the same scale). Then the direction and length of the straight line OB represent the direction and (to the same scale) the magnitude of the resultant vector.
What is an equivalent vector?
Two vectors having same magnitude but different direction are called equivalent vectors.
What is meant by resultant of a vector?
A resultant vector is one vector which can replace all the other vectors and produce the same effect.
How is a resolution of a vector different from the resultant of vectors?
When you resolve a vector, you replace it with two component vectors, usually at right angles to each other. The resultant is a single vector which has the same effect as a set of vectors. In a sense, resolution and resultant are like opposites.
When the vector product of two vectors is zero?
When they point in the same direction.
What are negative vector?
Convenient notation for vectors of the same magnitude but in the opposite direction.
