Question: Two vectors A and B are added together and their vector sum is zero. What can you say about the magnitude and direction of A

Two vectors A and B are added together and their vector sum is zero. What can you say about the magnitude and direction of A and B?

1.

The magnitude of vector A is zero; the magnitude of vector B is not zero but its direction angle is zero ( Hint: the direction angle is an angle between a vector and the positive x - axis)

2.

The vector A is vertical, while the vector B is horizontal with the same magnitude

3.

The vector A is equal and opposite to vector B

4.

The magnitude of vector A is twice bigger than the magnitude of B, but its direction angle is twice less than direction anle of B.
