Can the sum of two equal vectors be equal to either of the vectors?
Only if one of them has a magnitude of zero, so, effectively, no.
When Two vectors have unequal magnitude can their sum be zero explain reason?
No two vectors of unequal magnitude cannot give the sum 0 because for 0 sum the 2 vectors must be equal and in opposite direction
Can the sum of two equal vectors be equal to either vector?
Only if one of them has a magnitude of zero, so, effectively, no.
Can the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors ever b equal to the the sum of these two vectors?
Not really. The sum of the magnitudes is a scalar, not a vector - so they can't be equal. But the sum of the two vectors can have the same magnitude, if both vectors point in the same direction.
When is the sum of the magnitudes of two vectors equal to the magnitude of the sum of the vectors?
When the vectors are parallel, i.e. both have the same direction.

Is the sum of two vectors of equal magnitude equal to the magnitude of either vectors AND their difference root 3 times the magnitude of each vector?
iff the angle between them is 120 degrees
When is the vector sum equal in magnitude to the algebraic sum?
When the angle between any two component vectors is either zero or 180 degrees.
When the angle between two vectors is equal to zero?
When the angle between two vectors is zero ... i.e. the vectors are parallel ... their sum is a vector in thesame direction, and with magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two original vectors.
Can the sum of of the magnitudes of two vectors ever be equal to the magnitudes of the sum of these two vectors?
No, they could be equal If the two vectors are opposites (180 degrees apart) like r and -r, then the sum of their magnitudes is the magnitude of their sum. ?? North 1 plus East 1 gives NorthEast 1.414. North 1 plus South 1 gives 0. North 1 plus North 1 gives North 2, which is equal to, not less than 1+1.
How can the resultant of two vecters of the same magnitude be equal to the magnitude of either vector?
If the directions of two vectors with equal magnitudes differ by 120 degrees, then the magnitude of their sum is equal to the magnitude of either vector.
