It can be any direction. It depends on the magnitudes and directions
of the two original vectors.
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
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)
It is impossible if the two vectors are of unequal magnitude.
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.
When all the vectors have the same direction.

No, two vectors of unequal magnitude cannot have a sum of zero. The resultant of adding two vectors is determined both by their magnitudes and directions. If the vectors have unequal magnitudes, the resultant vector will have a magnitude that is at least as large as the larger of the two original vectors.
The sum of two vectors having the same direction is a new vector. It's magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the original two vectors, and its direction is the same as their common direction.
Sum of two vectors can only be zero if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. So no two vector of unequal magnitude cannot be added to give null vector. Three vectors of equal magnitude and making an angle 120 degrees with each other gives a zero resultant.

Three. Equal forces, two.
First of all, try it out, to get an intuitive feeling for why this is so. For example, try moving 10 cm in any direction (or any other distance; you can use any unit); then see whether you can go back to the starting point by moving, say, 5 cm - or 20 cm.The reason this doesn't work is related to the fact that the distance back and forth - i.e., from point A to point B, versus from point B to point A - is the same.
Yes. The largest vector is given a certain direction. The remaining two vectors (each different in length) when combined, equal the length of the largest, and are 180 degrees out of phase with the largest.
When all the vectors have the same direction.
To find the resultant of two forces that are in the same direction, simply add the magnitudes of the two forces together. The resultant will have a magnitude equal to the sum of the two forces, and it will also be in the same direction as the original forces.
