It is a displacement equal in magnitude to the difference between the two vectors, and in the direction of the larger vector.

Can two vectors having same magnitude combine together can give zero resultant?

Yes, if they are pointing in opposite directions (separated by 180°).


Can two vectors having different magnitude be combined to give a vector sum of zero?

No. Three can, but two need to cancel out exactly, meaning they must have the same magnitude in opposite directions.


Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?

Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.


Are two vectors having equal magnitude?

It depends. Magnitude is technically the length of the vector represented by v. our equation of the magnitude is given by: v= SQRT( x^2 + y^2) You can have 2 similar vectors pointing at different directions and still get the same magnitude.


Can two vectors having different magnitude be compined to give a zero resultant can three vector?

Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.


Two vectors have unequel magnitudes can their sum be zero?

No. Best case scenario is that they are pointed directly opposite one another, and that is insufficient to cancel by definition of having different magnitudes.


What is an equivalent vector?

Two vectors having same magnitude but different direction are called equivalent vectors.


Is direction is important for equal vectors?

Equal vectors are vectors having same direction of action or orientation as well as same magnitude. If two or more vectors have same magnitude but different direction then they cannot be called equal vectors. This shows that direction is important for equal vectors.


Can you add equal vectors?

Yes, you can add vectors of equal length. Make sure they are equal by both of them having the same magnitude and direction. Otherwise, you can add equal vectors.


Can we have physical quantities which have magnitude and direction but are not vectors if yes how?

yes we can have. for eg electric current, pressure etc though these quantities have both magnitude and direction their directions are not necessary to define them and vectors are those quantities which has magnitude and requires direction to be defined " quantities having both magnitude and direction is a vector" is not a corrrect definition ofa vector


Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant.is it possible for three such vectors?

Two vectors with unequal magnitudes can't add to zero, but three or more can.


Adding two vectors in the same direction?

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.
