by head to tail rule they are added
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Two or more vectors combine to form a resultant sum; V1 + V2 + ...+ Vn = VR
-- The minimum magnitude that can result from the combination of two vectors is the difference between their magnitudes. If their magnitudes are different, then they can't combine to produce zero. -- But three or more vectors with different magnitudes can combine to produce a zero magnitude.
No.
Yes, three vectors can combine to give a resultant of zero if they are arranged such that they form a closed triangle. This means that the vectors must be equal in magnitude and appropriately directed so that their sum cancels out. For example, if one vector points in one direction, the other two must point in such a way that they collectively oppose the first vector. This situation illustrates the principle of vector equilibrium.

No.
You should try to visualize this yourself. Draw arrows, representing vectors, on paper; draw them head-to-tail. Try to make the head of the last arrow return to the tail of the first one. The answer is no, and yes.
simply: No, Velocity vectors are different to force vectors. One measures velocity and one measures force so you can not simply add/subtract/multiply/divide them together and get something meaningful.
The effect is called vector addition. This process involves combining the magnitudes and directions of the individual vectors to determine the resulting vector.
The combined displacement vector would be 8 meters in the same direction as the individual vectors, as you simply add the magnitudes of the vectors together.
The combination of two or more vectors results in a new vector known as the resultant vector. This resultant vector is found by adding or subtracting the individual vectors' magnitudes and directions.
The combined displacement vector will have a magnitude of 8m. This is found by simply adding the magnitudes of the two original displacement vectors together (3m + 5m = 8m), since they are in the same direction.
8m in the same direction.
Yes, if they are pointing in opposite directions (separated by 180°).
