Vectors are combined by adding or subtracting their corresponding components. For two-dimensional vectors, you add/subtract the x-components together and the y-components together to get the resulting vector. For three-dimensional vectors, you perform the same process with the addition of the z-components.
true
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 resultant Vector.
The sum of 2 or more vectors is called the resultant vector. It is the single vector that represents the combined effect of all the individual vectors added together.
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.
No
Yes.

A resultant Vector.
Yes, put the three vectors in a plane, with a separation of 120 degrees between each vector and each of the other vectors.
