Question

I know that a vector with zero magnitude does not have a direction because a vector of "zero magnitude" does not exist. Every vector has a magnitude, by definition. (Correct me if I'm wrong). The question I'm not sure about is "Does it matter"? does it matter whether a vector of zero magnitude has a direction? I'm confused as to how to answer this question.

Explanation / Answer

It does not matter. you can suppose that direction of a zero vector is 0 to 360 degrees.
