Can the magnitude of the resultant of two vector be greater than the sum of magnitudes of individual vectors?
No.
Can the magnitude of a resultant vector be greater than the sum of individual vectors?
The resultant vector IS the sum of the individual vectors. Its magnitudecan be the sum of their individual magnitudes or less, but not greater.
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.
Can the resultant magnitude of 2 vectors be smaller than either of the vectors?
Yes. As an extreme example, if you add two vectors of the same magnitude, which point in the opposite direction, you get a vector of magnitude zero as a result.
Can a vector have a component greater than its magnitude in higher level physics?
yeah, it can. for example consider two antiparallel vectors of magnitude 5,3 whose resultant is 2, which is smaller than both components.....

Can the magnitude of the difference between two vectors ever be greater than the magnitude of either vector?
No.

Two vectors A and B have precisely equal magnitudesFor the magnitude of A B to be greater than the magnitude of A-Bwhat must be the angle between them?

Is the velocity of 3ms greater than -4ms mathematically?
No. If you are talking about "velocity", then you are talking about magnitude and direction - i.e., vectors. You can't really compare vectors, in the sense of one vector being greater than another; but you can compare their magnitudes - and the magnitude is always non-negative. In this sense, you can't even have a "velocity of minus 4 m/s" - you would have a "velocity of 4 m/s in a certain direction".
What is a scalar magnitude?
Magnitude means size. The magnitude of 8 is greater than the magnitude of 4. The magnitude of 1023209138109283 is greater than the magnitude of 12. =)) .... enjoyy... =D
Can the magnitude of a vector be less than magnitudes both of components?
The magnitude of the sum of any two vectors can be anywhere between zero and the sum of their two magnitudes, depending on their magnitudes and the angle between them. When you say "components", you're simply describing a sum of two vectors that happen to be perpendicular to each other. In that case, the magnitude of their sum is Square root of [ (magnitude of one component)2 + (magnitude of the other component)2 ] It looks to me like that can't be less than the the magnitude of the greater component.
