Magnitude is the absolute value which is always positive.
--
Edit: Magnitude is a scalar quantity thus regardless of the direction of the vector (which determines is positivity or negativity) the magnitude would be positive.
Example: you take two steps forwards; the magnitude is two steps, regardless of it being forward or backwards (positive or negative)

Can be magnitude of a vector have negative value?
Vectors have magnitude and direction. The magnitude is always a positive number.
Why can velocity be negative but nonzero speed is always positive?
speed is a scalar quantity with magnitude only but no direction; velocity is a vector with both magnitude (speed) AND direction, which could be positive or negative
Can a vector have a zero magnitude if all of its components are zero?
If all the components of a vector are zero, the magnitude of the vector will always be zero.
What is the magnitude of an acceleration vector?
It is the positive square root of its length.
How will you multiply a vector by positive number?
A positive scalar multiplied by a vector, will only change the vector's magnitude, not the direction. A negative scalar multiplied by the vector will reverse the direction by 180°.
Can the magnitude of a vector have a negative value?
The magnitude of a vector is always treated as non negative and the minus sign indicates the reversal of that vector through an angle of 180 degree.
What is scaler quantities and vector quantities?
scalar quantity has only magnitude whereas vector quantity has magnitude as well as direction
What is a unit vector?
It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.
A vector always consist of?
A vector always consists of a direction and magnitude. For example, a vector representing the weight of an object that is 35N would be represented as an arrow pointing downward with a magnitude of 35N. You could also represent the weight of 35N as -35N, in which the negative symbol indicates a downward force.
What is a vector magnitude?
A vector magnitude is the number that is associated to the length of the vector.
Is a force scalar or vector?
It's a vector, and I believe it always points upward.
Vector rm vec A points in the negative y direction and has a magnitude of 11 units Vector rm vec B has twice the magnitude and points in the positive x direction.?
