yeah, it can. for example consider two antiparallel vectors of magnitude 5,3 whose resultant is 2, which is smaller than both components.....

Explain the effect of changing the angle of projection on the magnitude of maximum height?
"the higher the altitude the lower the range "
What is the higher number .1 or .01?
0.1 is greater.
Which amount is higher 0.6 0.8 0.25?
0.8 is the greater.
Is 0.35 greater than 0.4 and why is it?
No, 0.4 is higher because it's much greater than 0.35. It may have more digits but it's a decimal. 0.4 is Higher than 0.3999999999999999999999999999.
Why is the resultant of the two vectors always closer to the vector having higher magnitude?
Consider a box being pulled by two people in the top and the right direction. If the person who is pulling the box from the right is the stronger person, he exerts more force on the box [i.e, the magnitude of the force exerted toward the right is higher], it is more likely that the box will move in his direction. Quite similarly, when considering the resultant of two vectors, the resultant is bound to be closer to the higher magnitude. I hope that made sense.
When the magnitude of kc is very large it indicate?
IF by "kc" you mean the outdated term kilocycles [a measurement of frequency, usually used in measuring electromagnetic radiation (radio)] then the larger (greater) the magnitude, the higher the frequency and the shorter the wavelength. This is basic physics... Your description indicates a poor mastery of technical English.
Which star is giving off more light?
The star that gives off more light is likely larger and hotter than the other star. The brightness of a star is directly related to its size and temperature, with larger and hotter stars emitting more light.
What is higher amplitude?
Higher amplitude refers to a greater maximum displacement from the rest position in a wave or vibration. It indicates a larger magnitude of the oscillation or wave, reflecting a stronger intensity or energy in the system.
Would an earthquake be more severe if it had a higher or lower magnitude?
An earthquake with a higher magnitude would generally be more severe. Magnitude measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake, so a higher magnitude indicates a stronger earthquake with more potential to cause damage. However, the severity also depends on other factors including the depth of the earthquake, population density, and building infrastructure in the affected area.
What happens to the magnitude of fluid friction as Speed increases?
As speed increases, the magnitude of fluid friction also increases. This is because at higher speeds, there is more interaction between the moving object and the fluid, resulting in greater resistance and friction.
Which is greater the momentum of a bullet fired from a rifle or the momentum of the rifle's recoil?
The momentum of the bullet fired from a rifle is greater than the momentum of the rifle's recoil. This is because the bullet has a higher velocity and mass compared to the rifle, resulting in a greater momentum.
What percentage of total earthquakes have a magnitude greater than 6.0?
For earthquakes world-wide from 2000 to 2012 there were ~ 2092 quakes with a magnitude 6.0 or higher or less than 1% of the total 332,723 recorded earthquakes according to the USGS National Earthquake Information Center.
What influences the magnitude of the Coriolis force?
The magnitude of the Coriolis force is influenced by the speed of the object, the latitude of the object, and the Earth's rotation rate. Objects moving faster or situated at higher latitudes will experience a greater Coriolis force.
What is a stars brightness known as?
A star's brightness is known as its magnitude. Stars with lower magnitude numbers are brighter than stars with a higher magnitude number.
When is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer negative?
When the absolute value of the negative number is higher than the positive number.
How many earthquakes over magnitude 8 were recored in 1901?
There is no record of an 8.0 or higher magnitude earthquake during the year
How many earthquakes over magnitude 8 were recorded in 1904?
There is no record of an 8.0 or higher magnitude earthquake during the year
