First let me start by saying that the absolute value of -8 is 8.
However, this can be a dangerous question to ask, as it can become a complicated one to ask, as the magnitude of a number or function can have many answers, and each of the methods to describe the "magnitude" of a number or function is called a "norm".
There are many types of norms: the infinity norm (the maximum absolute value of a function), and the L2 norm (the square root of the integral of the square of a function). Another example is the length of a curve.
No because magnitude is like length and you cannot have negative length

No, the value can't be negative because magnitude of a vector is just how long it is regardless of its direction. :-)
Vectors have magnitude and direction. The magnitude is always a positive number.
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.
No, the magnitude of a vector is always a positive value or zero. It represents the length of the vector and is a scalar quantity. Negative values are not associated with the magnitude of a vector.

The sum of two numbers depends on their signs and relative magnitudes.Both positive: sum positive Both zero: sum zero Both negative: sum negative Larger magnitude positive, smaller magnitude negative: sum positive Larger magnitude negative, smaller magnitude positive: sum negative Same magnitude, one positive and other negative: sum zero.

It is the sign that is opposite, not the number But if the number magnitude is the same, it is correct to say that ,for example, negative 6 is the opposite of positive six. But negative 4 is not the opposite of negative 8, for example

clockwise :)
its just 4. the negative shows its direction
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.
