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.
