What is necessary in order to show the correct direction of a vector?
I coordinate system.
How do you combine velocities in the same direction and different direction?
By vector addition
The components of a vector will be the same no matter what coordinate system is used to express that vector?
No. The components of a vector will change based on what coordinate system is used to express that vector.
What is scalar vector?
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
How can a null vector be a vector if there is no direction?
It has magnitude 0 and a direction and obeys vector laws, so is a vector
How do you find the direction of the vector?
I suspect the question arises from confusion. A vector itself already defines a direction, usually in the Cartesian xyz coordinate system. If you want to express the direction in other coordinates, such as polar or spherical coordinates you need to transform the vector to these coordinate systems. I can answer you question more fully if you can specify the specific coordinate system in which you want to know the direction.
How do you name the direction of a vector?
The direction of a vector is defined in terms of its components along a set of orthogonal vectors (the coordinate axes).
What is necessary in order to show the correct direction of a vector?
I coordinate system.
What are the projections of a vector along the axes of a coordinate system?
A tangent of the vector is the projection of a vector along the axes of a coordinate system.

No. The components of a vector will change based on what coordinate system is used to express that vector.
What is different between negative vector and null vector?
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.
What is scalar vector?
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
How are scalar and vector different?
Vectors have direction. Scalars don't.
How can a null vector be a vector if there is no direction?
It has magnitude 0 and a direction and obeys vector laws, so is a vector
How to find the direction of vector when the magnitude is given?
You can't derive the direction only from the magnitude. A vector with the same magnitude can have different directions. You need some additional information to make conclusions about the direction.You can't derive the direction only from the magnitude. A vector with the same magnitude can have different directions.
