Can three vectors not in one plane give zero resultant?

No. For three vectors they must all lie in the same plane. Consider 2 vectors first. For them to resolve to zero, they must be in opposite direction and equal magnitude. So they will lie along the same line. For 3 vectors: take two of them. Any two vectors will lie in the same plane, and their resultant vector will also lie in that plane. Find the resultant of the first two vectors, and the third vector must be along the same line (equal magnitude, opposite direction), in order to result to zero. Since the third vector is along the same line as the resultant vector of the first two, then it must be in the same plane as the resultant of the first two. Therefore it lies in the same plane as the first two.


How should two vectors lie so that their resultant is zero?

In order for two vectors to add up to zero:-- their directions must be exactly opposite-- their magnitudes must be exactly equal


He vector sum of three vectors gives a zero resultant what can be orientation of the vectors?

The orientation of the three vectors that sum to zero must be coplanar, contained in the same common plane, including being contained in a common line in a plane.


How do you find the angle between two vectors of same magnitude and resultant is equal to either?

If both vectors are of the same magnitude, and the resultant is equal to one, then all three are equal. This describes an equilateral triangle.Since the angles of a triangle must sum to 180, the three angles of an equilateral triangle are all 60 degrees.


What must you do to non-perpendicular vectors before you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the resultant of the vectors?

You must find the x and y components of each vector. Then you add up the like x components and the like y components. Using your total x component and total y component you may then apply the pythagorean theorem.
