Sure. Consider a good old Tug 'o War, with 3 or more strong guys pulling in
various directions, and that big old knot in the middle of the rope right over the
mud pit isn't moving an inch. (Remember, it would move immediately if the net
force on it were not zero.)
Maybe an even better example is to consider 50 people evenly distributed all
the way around a small car, all pushing on the car in different directions. It's
very plausible that the car doesn't roll at all ... the net force on it is zero.
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.
-- A singe vector with a magnitude of zero produces a zero resultant.-- Two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite directions produce a zero resultant.
Two.Equal magnitudes in opposite directions.
The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is arbitrary, since it indicates that the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.
The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is indeterminate or undefined because the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.
Assuming you want non-zero vectors, two opposing vectors will give a resultant of zero.
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.
Take any three vectors in a plane which, when placed end-to-end form a triangle. The resultant of the three vectors will be zero.
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
opposite
The resultant of two vectors is a third vector., for example V1 + V2 = V3. V3 may be equal to zero, greater than zero or less than zero.
It is certain that two vectors of different magnitudes cannot yield a zero resultant force.
A triangle of vectors, in which the sides are the three vectors arranged head-tail.

Yes.
The direction of the resultant vector with zero magnitude is arbitrary, since it indicates that the two equal and opposite vectors cancel each other out completely.
