No. The dot product is also called the scalar product and therein lies the clue.

What is the direction of two unequal vectors's sum?
It can be any direction. It depends on the magnitudes and directions of the two original vectors.
What is the any quantity that has a magnitude and direction?
vectors
How do vectors apply to real life?
Any measurement in which the direction is relevant requires vectors.
For any triangle made of vectors will any pair of vectors that form its sides be equal vectors?
No. Only in the equilateral case. And then they will only be equal in magnitude, not direction.
What has a velocity and acceleration vector in the same direction?
Any falling object has acceleration and velocity vectors in the same direction.
Dot product of unit vectors of cartesian and cylindrical coordinate system?
Unit vectors are perpendicular. Their dot product is zero. That means that no unit vector has any component that is parallel to another unit vector.
Can dotproduct of two vectors be negative?
The dot-product of two vectors tells about the angle between them. If the dot-product is positive, then the angle between the two vectors is between 0 and 90 degrees. When the dot-product is negative, the angle is more than 90 degrees. Therefore, the dot-product can be any value (positive, negative, or zero). For example, the dot product of the vectors and is -1*1+1*0+1*0 = -1 which is negative.
Are there any vectors associated with HIV?
The vector is body fluid exchangeCorrection:Bodily fluids are not technically vectors. A vector is a living organism, usually a mosquito or tick, that is capable of transmissing disease. To date, no vectors have been identified as causing HIV infection.
Do all vectors have speed?
No. A vector is any measurement that includes a direction, for example velocity, momentum, acceleration, or force.
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.
If a and b are two vectors and the vector product of vector a and vector b is equal to a minus b then prove that a equals b?
The question is not correct, because the product of any two vectors is just a number, while when you subtract to vectors the result is also a vector. So you can't compare two different things...
What is the difference between coplanar vectors and collinear vectors?
The term collinear is used to describe vectors which are scalar multiples of one another (they are parallel; can have different magnitudes in the same or opposite direction). The term coplanar is used to describe vectors in at least 3-space. Coplanar vectors are three or more vectors that lie in the same plane (any 2-D flat surface).
