Can a a vector with 0 magnitude have a nonzero component?
No.
Can a vector have a component equal to zero and still have a nonzero magnitude?
Yes. For instance, the 2-dimensional vector (1,0) has length sqrt(1+0) = 1 A vector only has zero magnitude when all its components are 0.
Can a vector have zero magnitude if one of its component is non zero?
No.
Can a vector have zero magnitude if one of its components is nonzero?
A vector comprises its components, which are orthogonal. If just one of them has magnitude and direction, then the resultant vector has magnitude and direction. Example:- If A is a vector and Ax is zero and Ay is non-zero then, A=Ax+Ay A=0+Ay A=Ay
Can the magnitude of a vector be equal to one of its components?
Yes. A vector in two dimensions is broken into two components, a vector in three dimensions broken into three components, etc... If the value of all but one component of a vector equal zero then the magnitude of the vector is equal to the non-zero component.
When can a nonzero vector have a zero horizontal component?
When the direction of the vector is vertical. Gravitational force has zero horizontal component.
Can a a vector with 0 magnitude have a nonzero component?
No.
Will a vector be zero if anyone of its component is zero?
If any component of a vector is not zero, then the vector is not zero.
Can a vector have a component equal to zero and still have a nonzero magnitude?
Yes. For instance, the 2-dimensional vector (1,0) has length sqrt(1+0) = 1 A vector only has zero magnitude when all its components are 0.
Can a vector be zero if one of its component is not zero?
No, for a vector to be zero, all of its components must be zero. If only one component is not zero, then the vector itself cannot be zero.
Can a vector have zero magnitude if one of its component is not zero?
No, a vector cannot have zero magnitude if one of its components is not zero. The magnitude of a vector is determined by the combination of all its components, so if any component is not zero, the vector will have a non-zero magnitude.
Can a vector have zero magnitudes if one of its component is not zero?
No. The magnitude of a vector can't be less than any component.
Can a vector be zero if one of its component is zero?
No never
If one of the rectangular component of a vector is not zero can its magnitude be zero?
No.
Can a vector have zero magnitude if one of its component is non zero?
No.
Can a vector have zero magnitude if one of its components is nonzero?
A vector comprises its components, which are orthogonal. If just one of them has magnitude and direction, then the resultant vector has magnitude and direction. Example:- If A is a vector and Ax is zero and Ay is non-zero then, A=Ax+Ay A=0+Ay A=Ay

Yes. A vector in two dimensions is broken into two components, a vector in three dimensions broken into three components, etc... If the value of all but one component of a vector equal zero then the magnitude of the vector is equal to the non-zero component.
