The related question has a nice detail of this. Each vector is resolved into component vectors. For 2-dimensions, it is an x-component and a y-component. Then the respective components are added. These added components make up the resultant vector.
the difference between resultant vector and resolution of vector is that the addition of two or more vectors can be represented by a single vector which is termed as a resultant vector. And the decomposition of a vector into its components is called resolution of vectors.
You can add vectors graphically, by drawing them head-to-tail. Algebraically, you can separate them into components (for example, in two dimensions, the horizontal and the vertical component), then add those.
Vectors involve a direction component. So while the magnitudes may be the same, the direction won't be.
1) Separate the vectors into components (if they are not already expressed as components). 2) Add each of the components separately. 3) If required, convert the vectors back to some other form. For twodimensional vectors, that would polar form.
The smallest magnitude resulting from the addition of vectors with individual magnitudes of 4 and 3 is 1, obtained when the directions of the two component vectors are 180 degrees apart.
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.
Two methods can be used for vector addition. (1) Graphically. Place the vectors head-to-tail, without changing their direction or size. (2) Analytically, that is, mathematically. Add the x-component and the y-component separately. The z-component too, if the vectors are in three dimensions.
it is the process to resolve vectors into its two components which Fx and Fy
Component vectors can be used with a variety of different used in physics, including displacement, force, acceleration, electric field, etc.
No.

resultant vector is a vector which will have the same effect as the sum of all the component vectors taken together.

You can use the component method for finding two or more vectors. Use the X and Y axis. Ex. If you have 5 vectors given-Draw a cartesian plane for every vectors-Get the equivalent value of X and Y for Every vectors(use the SOHCAHTOA rules).-Get the summation of X and Y then use Phythagorean Theorem. For finding the Angle, use the Tan theta. Save
can a vector have a component greater than the vector magnitude
When the component vectors have equal or opposite directions (sin(Θ) = 0) i.e. the vectors are parallel.
