Well, honey, if two vectors have unequal magnitudes, their sum can't be zero unless they're pointing in completely opposite directions. In that case, the larger vector would just cancel out the smaller one to give a net sum of zero. So, technically yes, but don't count on it happening often.

Can the sum of two vectors of unequal magnitudes be a zero vector?
The sum of two unequal vectors can not be zero, because we can get minimum magnitude of two vectors when they are in opposite direction and can only get zero magnitude when they are equal in magnitude.................................... Answered by: SAJJAD AHMED(bfps doha Qatar)
What is the minimum number of vectors with equal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
Two is the minimum number of vectors that will sum to zero.
What is the direction of two unequal vectors's sum?
It can be any direction. It depends on the magnitudes and directions of the two original vectors.
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.
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
