equal and opposite
by method of finding resultant
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
The only way that two vectors add up to zero is if they have equal magnitude and opposite direction. If the magnitudes are not equal then no, they cannot give a zero resultant.
If they are parallel, you can add them algebraically to get a resultant vector. Then you can resolve the resultant vector to obtain the vector components.
The resultant vector will have a magnitude of zero because the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out. The direction of the resultant vector will be indeterminate or undefined.
The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is indeterminate or undefined because the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.
Equilibrant vector is the opposite of resultant vector, they act in opposite directions to balance each other.
The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is arbitrary, since it indicates that the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.
equal and opposite
by method of finding resultant
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
When two vectors are in opposite directions, their resultant is the difference between their magnitudes, with the direction of the larger vector. This means the resultant vector points in the direction of the larger vector and its magnitude is the difference between the magnitudes of the two vectors.
Yes, the vector sum is called the resultant. The resultant is the single vector that represents the combined effect of two or more vectors. It is equal to the vector sum of the individual vectors.
The only way that two vectors add up to zero is if they have equal magnitude and opposite direction. If the magnitudes are not equal then no, they cannot give a zero resultant.

Yes. A vector has magnitude and direction. If the vectors have equal magnitude and directly opposite directions their sum will be zero.
