Is it possible to add two vectors having different magnitudes and yield zero resultant?
It is certain that two vectors of different magnitudes cannot yield a zero resultant force.
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.
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.
Suppose you have two vectors that have different magnitudes can the vectors sum ever be zero?
No. The largest possible resultant magnitude is the sum of the individual magnitudes.The smallest possible resultant magnitude is the difference of the individual magnitudes.
Is it possible to add two vectors of unequal magnitudes an get zero?
No.
What is the minimum possible magnitude of two vectors?
The minimum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is zero. That's what happens when the two vectors have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.The maximum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is the sum of the two individual magnitudes. That's what happens when the two vectors have the same direction.
Adding vectors that act in the opposite direction?
When two vectors with different magnitudes and opposite directions are added :-- The magnitude of the sum is the difference in the magnitudes of the two vectors.-- The direction of the sum is the direction of the larger of the two vectors.
Can two vectors of different magnitudes give a zero resultant?
No.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
What is the maximum possible resultant of two vectors with magnitudes of 4 and 5?

What is the minimum possible resultant of two vectors with magnitudes of 4 and 5?
One.One.
Are all unit vectors equal?
No. Their magnitudes are equal (that's why they're "unit" vectors), but their directions are different.
