The null vector, also called the zero vector, is a vector a, such that a+b=b for any vector b.
Also, b+( -b)=a
An example in R3
is the vector <0,0,0>
Here are some examples of its use
<2,2,2>+<-2,-2,-2>=<0,0,0>
<2,2,2>+<0,0,0>=<2,2,2>

no,zero cannot be added to a null vector because zero is scalar but null vector is a vector,although null vector has zero magnitude but it has direction due to which it is called a vector.
A null vector has no magnitude, a negative vector does have a magnitude but it is in the direction opposite to that of the reference vector.
Yes, you can add anything to null vector.
The sum of two null vectors is a null vector. And since a direction is not relevant for a null vector, the resultant has no direction either.
Yes, any number can be added to a null vector.
