no it does not have direction because it isn't there. Just ask yourself this? Which direction would it be?

But yes it does at the same time: equally in all directions. But the point that OPer wants understood, is that zero has no magnitude. So here is a case where no magnitude is tantamount to infinite (but not indefinitely finite) magnitude.

Can a vector have zero magnitude if one of its components is nonzero?

A vector comprises its components, which are orthogonal. If just one of them has magnitude and direction, then the resultant vector has magnitude and direction. Example:- If A is a vector and Ax is zero and Ay is non-zero then, A=Ax+Ay A=0+Ay A=Ay


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.


Will a vector be zero if one of its compoent is zero?

No. In order for the magnitude of a vector to be zero, the magnitude of all of its components will need to be zero.This answer ignores velocity and considers only the various N-axis projections of a vector. This is because direction is moot if magnitude is zero.


Can you add zero in null vector?

no,zero cannot be added to a null vector because zero is scalar but null vector is a vector,although null vector has zero magnitude but it has direction due to which it is called a vector.


What is the difference between zero and zero vector in vector algebra?

Zero is a number (a scalar quantity without unit) while zero vector (or null vector) is a vector quantity having zero magnitude and arbitrary direction.


What is the magnitude of a zero vector?

The magnitude of the zero vector is zero, hence the name.


What is null vector?

NULL VECTOR::::null vector is avector of zero magnitude and arbitrary direction the sum of a vector and its negative vector is a null vector...


Can a vector have a zero magnitude if all of its components are zero?

If all the components of a vector are zero, the magnitude of the vector will always be zero.


A vector is a quantity with magnitude and ___?

A vector is described by magnitude and direction (a scalar has only magnitude).


Can the resultant of two vectors be equal to zero?

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


What are the 50 words of vector and their magnitude and direction?

What are the 50 word of vector and their magnitude and direction


How can null vector be a vector if its magnitude is zero?

The zero magnitude by itself is no big deal. A greater problem is that no definite direction can be assigned to it. However, like many other mathematical structures, a zero element is required for the theory to be complete.
