Why vector division is not possible?

In the case of the dot product, you would need to find a vector which, multiplied by another vector, gives a certain real number. This vector is not uniquely defined; several different vectors could be used to give the same result, even if the other vector is specified.

For the other two common multiplications defined for vector, the inverse of multiplication, i.e. the division, can be clearly defined.

Can a component of vector greater than vector magnitude?

No, a component of a vector cannot be greater than the magnitude of the vector itself. The magnitude of a vector is the maximum possible value that can be obtained from its components.

Is it possible for a vector to be zero if its one of the components is zero?

NO, a vector will not be zero if one of its components will be zero.

Can a vector have a component greater than the vector's magnitude?

No, a vector's component cannot be greater than the vector's magnitude. The magnitude represents the maximum possible magnitude of a component in any direction.

Is it possible to add a scalar to a vector?

It is not possible the addition of scalars as well as vectors because vector quantities are magnitude as well as direction and scalar quantities are the only magnitude; they have no directions at all. Addition is possible between scalar to scalar and vector to vector. Under some circumstances, you may be able to treat scalar quantities as being along some previously undefined dimension of a vector quantity, and add them that way. For example, you can treat time as a vector along the t-axis and add it to an xyz position vector in 3-space to come up with a four-dimensional spacetime vector.

Is it possible for vector A plus vector B to equal vector A - vector B?

It's impossible as the addition of two vectors is commutative i.e. A+B = B+A.For subtraction of two vectors, you have to subtract a vector B from vector A.The subtraction of the vector B from A is equivalent to the addition of (-B) with A, i.e. A-B = A+(-B).
