Can a vector of magnitude zero have non-zero components ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A vector with zero magnitude cannot have non-zero components . Because magnitude of given vector `bar(V) = sqrt(V_(x)^(2) + V_(y)^(2))` must be zero . This is possible only when `V_(x)^(2)` and `V_(y)^(2)` are zero.
