Hi Shayan,

 

Considering a 2-D Vector

Yes it is changed for any angle of rotation ≠ 360.

If rotated through 360, then you will get back the same vector unchanged.

Yes. A vector is basically a magnitude with a direction. Changing the angle will change the direction and hence the vector itself.

Yes , vector is changed if it is rotated through angle because change in angle changes direction and which results in change of resultant of vector
