-- The minimum magnitude that can result from the combination of two vectors
is the difference between their magnitudes. If their magnitudes are different,
then they can't combine to produce zero.
-- But three or more vectors with different magnitudes can combine to produce
a zero magnitude.

Suppose you have two vectors that have different magnitudes can the vectors sum ever be zero?
No. The largest possible resultant magnitude is the sum of the individual magnitudes.The smallest possible resultant magnitude is the difference of the individual magnitudes.
What is the possible magnitude of thrust?
Thrust is a force and can be measured in MN or meganewtons. The space shuttle engines can generate around 1.8 MN and its solid rocket boosters produce around 29 MN combined.
What magnitude is not possible when a vector of magnitude 3 is added to a vector of magnitude 4?

Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant if not can three vectors be combine?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
What should be the angle between two vectors of magnitudes 8 and 8 units so that their resultant has a magnitude of 20 units?
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
How is it possible for two stairs to have the same aparent magnitude but different absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness as viewed from EarthAbsolute magnitude is the brightness as viewed from the same distance - 32 light years.Therefore a star that is twice as bright but further away could have the same apparent magnitude but a different absolute magnitude.
Suppose you have two vectors that have different magnitudes can the vectors sum ever be zero?
No. The largest possible resultant magnitude is the sum of the individual magnitudes.The smallest possible resultant magnitude is the difference of the individual magnitudes.
What is the magnitude weakest possible earthquake recorded?
it might be 1 magnitude.
What magnitude is not possible when a vector of a magnitude of 3 is added to a vector of a magnitude of 4?
A magnitude of less than 1. cw: An absolute magnitude of less than 1.
What is the possible magnitude of thrust?
Thrust is a force and can be measured in MN or meganewtons. The space shuttle engines can generate around 1.8 MN and its solid rocket boosters produce around 29 MN combined.
How the development of the magnetic compass had very different effects on Europeans and native Americans?
because the iron and magnitude made the compass possible to work
Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant. if not can three vectors be so combined?
You should try to visualize this yourself. Draw arrows, representing vectors, on paper; draw them head-to-tail. Try to make the head of the last arrow return to the tail of the first one. The answer is no, and yes.

How can you use the words tsunami and magnitude in the same sentence?
Yes it is possible. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake caused a large tsunami.
Is it possible for the magnitude of the some of two vectors to be larger than the sum of the magnitude of the vectors?
Assuming you mean sum and not some, the answer is No.
