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.
What is the direction of the resultant vector after adding two equal and opposite vectors?
Theortically, should be the same.
If two vectors are perpendicular to each other then the resultant what?
The direction after adding two equal and opposite vectors is the "Direction" of the two vectors. V=aDirection and Opposite V = OV = - aDirection. Adding the two gives, V + OV= (a-a)Direction = 0 Direction.
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.
How are velocities in the same direction combined?
As the velocities are in the same direction then addition of vectors becomes so easy. We simply add the magnitudes of the velocities. If velocities go exactly opposite, then we get the difference of their magnitudes. If velocity vectors get inclined, then we use the parallelogram law of vectors to get the resultant.
What are the direction of two vectors when their resultant is zero?
opposite

The zero-vector has no direction.
Can the resultant of two vectors be 0?
Yes, but only if the size of the two vectors are the same but their direction is opposite.

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.
Does the resultant take into account the direction of the two vectors?
Yes, a resultant vector is the vector sum of the two vectors. It has it's own direction and magnitude.
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.
Which are those two vectors whose resultant vector is zero?
They are vectors of equal magnitudes in oppositedirections. When you add them, they cancel out each other.
Can the resultant of 3 vectors be 0?
Yes. A simple case would be a vector 2a acting at a point in one direction and two vectors, each of magnitude a, acting at the same point in the opposite direction.
Can the resultant magnitude of 2 vectors be smaller than either of the vectors?
Yes. As an extreme example, if you add two vectors of the same magnitude, which point in the opposite direction, you get a vector of magnitude zero as a result.
A resultant vector is?
a resultant vector not only the resultant of two or three vector. it is the resultant direction of two or many vectors.(let us push an object with same force in opposite direction the resultant is zero and if we push in same direction the force will double.if we pull a object with same force in x and y direction the resultant force in 45 degrees to x axis)
