No. Best case scenario is that they are pointed directly opposite one another, and that is insufficient to cancel by definition of having different magnitudes.
Yes, two vectors with different magnitudes can be combined to give a zero resultant if they are in opposite directions. However, it is not possible for three vectors with different magnitudes to give a zero resultant because they must have specific magnitudes and directions to cancel each other out completely.
-- A singe vector with a magnitude of zero produces a zero resultant.-- Two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite directions produce a zero resultant.
It is certain that two vectors of different magnitudes cannot yield a zero resultant force.
No.
-- 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.
No, two vectors of unequal magnitude cannot have a sum of zero. The resultant of adding two vectors is determined both by their magnitudes and directions. If the vectors have unequal magnitudes, the resultant vector will have a magnitude that is at least as large as the larger of the two original vectors.
Yes, two vectors of different magnitudes can give a zero resultant if they are in opposite directions and have magnitudes that cancel each other out when added together. This is known as vector subtraction.
Yes, two vectors of different magnitudes can be combined to give a zero resultant if they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For three vectors to give a zero resultant, they must form a closed triangle or meet at a common point where the sum of the vectors equals zero.
Two is the minimum number of vectors that will sum to zero.
When they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
No.
When the angle between two vectors is zero ... i.e. the vectors are parallel ... their sum is a vector in thesame direction, and with magnitude equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two original vectors.
