Answers
Answer:
Yes. A vector is defined by its magnitude and direction, so a vector can be changed by changing its magnitude and direction. If we rotate it through an angle, its direction changes and we can say that the vector has changed.

ANSWER:
No, it is not possible to obtain zero by adding two vectors of unequal magnitudes.
Example: Let us add two vectors A→ and B→ of unequal magnitudes acting in opposite directions. The resultant vector is given by
R=A2+B2+2ABcosθ−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√
If two vectors are exactly opposite to each other, then
θ=180°, cos180°=−1R=A2+B2−2AB−−−−−−−−−−−−−√⇒R=(A−B)2−−−−−−−√⇒R=(A−B) or (B−A)
From the above equation, we can say that the resultant vector is zero (R = 0) when the magnitudes of the vectors A→ and B→ are equal (A = B) and both are acting in the opposite directions.
Yes, it is possible to add three vectors of equal magnitudes and get zero.
Lets take three vectors of equal magnitudes A, −→B→ and C→, given these three vectors make an angle of 120° with each other. Consider the figure below:
Lets examine the components of the three vectors.
Ax=AAy=0Bx=−B cos 60°By=B sin 60°Cx=−C cos 60°Cy=−C sin 60°Here, A=B=CSo, along the x−axis , we have:A−(2A cos 60°)=0, as cos 60°=12 ⇒B sin 60°−C sin 60°=0
