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

When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?
Thee direction of the two vectors.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?
The zero-vector has no direction.
What is the Minimum number of vectors with unequal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
-- A singe vector with a magnitude of zero produces a zero resultant.-- Two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite directions produce a zero resultant.
Ten vectors together add to give a zero resultant it is possible that nine of these vectors are on the same plane but the tenth is not on this plane?
No. The tenth vector would have to be matched by one equal and opposite vector to yield a zero resultant, or by multiple vectors in the second plain collectively yielding a zero resultant for that plane. It would be possible, for example, for 8 vectors to be on the same plane and two on a different plane to give a zero resultant.
Can two vectors of different magnitudes give a zero resultant?
No.
What is the least number of non-zero vectors that can be added to give a resultant equal to zero?
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?
Thee direction of the two vectors.
What is the resultant of two vectors?
The resultant of two vectors is a third vector., for example V1 + V2 = V3. V3 may be equal to zero, greater than zero or less than zero.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?
The zero-vector has no direction.
How do you prove three vectors are equal to zero?
If the sum of their components in any two orthogonal directions is zero, the resultant is zero. Alternatively, show that the resultant of any two vectors has the same magnitude but opposite direction to the third.
What is the Minimum number of vectors with unequal magnitudes whose vector sum can be zero?
-- A singe vector with a magnitude of zero produces a zero resultant.-- Two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite directions produce a zero resultant.
What are those two vectors whose resultant vector is zero?
equal and opposite
How many minimum of vectors are required in space to get resultant zero?
Assuming you want non-zero vectors, two opposing vectors will give a resultant of zero.
Is it possible two unequal vector to give a zero resultant?
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.
What are the magnitude of two vectors when their resultant is zero?
0=v1+v2 means the magnitudes are zero or equal and opposite.
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
Ten vectors together add to give a zero resultant it is possible that nine of these vectors are on the same plane but the tenth is not on this plane?
No. The tenth vector would have to be matched by one equal and opposite vector to yield a zero resultant, or by multiple vectors in the second plain collectively yielding a zero resultant for that plane. It would be possible, for example, for 8 vectors to be on the same plane and two on a different plane to give a zero resultant.
