Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the vector is the absolute value and also the magnitude is defined as the amount or quantity posses by the body or the resultant of any vector.

The magnitude is always absolute it is always positive it can never be negative.

The magnitude of vector is,


\left |A\right |=\sqrt{A_(x) ^(2) -{A_(y)^(2) }

So, this can never be negative.

Given whether if the the vector A has component A, 0, and Ay-0, the magnitude of any vector is always positive.
