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 magnitude be combined to give a zero resultantis it possible for three vectors?

-- The minimum magnitude that can result from the combination of two vectors is the difference between their magnitudes. If their magnitudes are different, then they can't combine to produce zero. -- But three or more vectors with different magnitudes can combine to produce a zero magnitude.


What is an equivalent vector?

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


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

Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.


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

Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.


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

No.


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 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.


How many minimum no of coplaner vectors having different magnitude can be added to given zero resultant?

If all magnitudes are different, then minimum is three.


What is the magnitude of the two vectors having a sum of zero?

If their sum (resultant) is 0, then the magnitude of the resultant must be 0.


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.


What is the result of two displacment vectors having opposite directions?

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