No. The largest possible resultant magnitude is the sum of the individual magnitudes.The smallest possible resultant magnitude is the difference of the individual magnitudes.
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.
It is not possible. The maximum magnitude is obtained when the vectors are aligned and in this case the resultant has a magnitude which is the sum of the individual vectors. In the given example, the maximum possible magnitude for the resultant is 16 units. In general |a+b| <= |a| + |b| where a, b are vectors and |a| is the magnitude of a
Yes, put the three vectors in a plane, with a separation of 120 degrees between each vector and each of the other 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.
No, the resultant of two vectors of the same magnitude cannot be equal to the magnitude of either of the vectors. The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by the formula: magnitude = √(A^2 + B^2 + 2ABcosθ), where A and B are the magnitudes of the vectors and θ is the angle between them.
No. The largest possible resultant magnitude is the sum of the individual magnitudes.The smallest possible resultant magnitude is the difference of the individual magnitudes.
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.
No, the resultant of two equal vectors will have a magnitude that is not equal to the magnitude of the original vectors. When two vectors are added together, the resulting vector will have a magnitude that depends on the angle between the two vectors.
No.

The angle between two vectors whose magnitudes add up to be equal to the magnitude of the resultant vector will be 120 degrees. This is known as the "120-degree rule" when adding two vectors of equal magnitude to get a resultant of equal magnitude.
It is not possible. The maximum magnitude is obtained when the vectors are aligned and in this case the resultant has a magnitude which is the sum of the individual vectors. In the given example, the maximum possible magnitude for the resultant is 16 units. In general |a+b| <= |a| + |b| where a, b are vectors and |a| is the magnitude of a
Yes, put the three vectors in a plane, with a separation of 120 degrees between each vector and each of the other vectors.
Let two equal magnitude vectors be 'X'.. Then, resultant=1.414X
