Sure. For one example, if their magnitudes are equal and their directions are spaced

120 degrees apart, then they add to zero. There are an infinite number of other sets

of magnitudes and directions that add to zero, i.e. have a zero resultant.

How many minimum of vectors are required in space to get resultant zero?

Assuming you want non-zero vectors, two opposing vectors will give a resultant of zero.


Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?

Yes, two vectors of different magnitudes can be combined to give a zero resultant if they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For three vectors to give a zero resultant, they must form a closed triangle or meet at a common point where the sum of the vectors equals zero.


How can you add three vectors of equal magnitude in a plane such as their resultant is zero?

Take any three vectors in a plane which, when placed end-to-end form a triangle. The resultant of the three vectors will be zero.


What is the least number of non-zero vectors that can be added to give a resultant equal to zero?

Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.


What are the direction of two vectors when their resultant is zero?

opposite


What is the resultant of two vectors?

The resultant of two vectors is a third vector., for example V1 + V2 = V3. V3 may be equal to zero, greater than zero or less than zero.


Is it possible to add two vectors having different magnitudes and yield zero resultant?

It is certain that two vectors of different magnitudes cannot yield a zero resultant force.


What is the three vectors arrangement if their resultant is zero?

A triangle of vectors, in which the sides are the three vectors arranged head-tail.


What is the Minimum number of vectors with unequal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?

The minimum number of vectors with unequal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero is two. These vectors must have magnitudes and directions that cancel out when added together to result in a zero vector sum.


What is the smallest number of vectors that can be added to give a zero resultant?

Two vectors can be added to result in a zero resultant if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.


Can three vectors of different magnitude be combined to give a zero resultant and can three vectors?

Yes.


When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?

The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is arbitrary, since it indicates that the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.
