It can be any direction. It depends on the magnitudes and directions

of the two original vectors.

When Two vectors have unequal magnitude can their sum be zero explain reason?

No two vectors of unequal magnitude cannot give the sum 0 because for 0 sum the 2 vectors must be equal and in opposite direction


Can the sum of two vectors of unequal magnitudes be a zero vector?

The sum of two unequal vectors can not be zero, because we can get minimum magnitude of two vectors when they are in opposite direction and can only get zero magnitude when they are equal in magnitude.................................... Answered by: SAJJAD AHMED(bfps doha Qatar)


If two vectors have unequal magnitudes can their sum be zero?

No, they cannot sum to zero.


Two vectors of unequal magnitude can their sum be zero?

No.


Can the sum of 2 vectors be 0 if they are of unequal magnitude?

It is impossible if the two vectors are of unequal magnitude.


Adding two vectors in the same direction?

The sum of two vectors having the same direction is a new vector. It's magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the original two vectors, and its direction is the same as their common direction.


Adding vectors that act in the opposite direction?

When two vectors with different magnitudes and opposite directions are added :-- The magnitude of the sum is the difference in the magnitudes of the two vectors.-- The direction of the sum is the direction of the larger of the two vectors.


If two vector have equal magnitudes can their sum be zero Explain?

Sum of two vectors can only be zero if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. So no two vector of unequal magnitude cannot be added to give null vector. Three vectors of equal magnitude and making an angle 120 degrees with each other gives a zero resultant.


What is the minimum number of unequal forces whose vector sum can equal zero?

Three. Equal forces, two.


Can the sum of three vectors all of unequal magnitudes be a zero?

Yes. The largest vector is given a certain direction. The remaining two vectors (each different in length) when combined, equal the length of the largest, and are 180 degrees out of phase with the largest.


Can the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever be equal to the magnitudes of the sum of these two vectors?

only if the vectors have the same direction


When is the vector sum of two quatities equal in magnitude to the scalar sum?

When all the vectors have the same direction.
