Answer:
This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.
Explanation:
Note that we take 
because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.
The resultant force of both forces is 15.62 N.
<h3 /><h3>What is resultant?</h3>
The Resultant of forces is a single force obtained when two or more forces are combined.
To calculate the resultant of the force, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- R = √[a²+b²-2abcos∅]..................... Equation 1
Where:
- R = Resultant of the forces.
- ∅ = Angle between both forces
From the question,
Given:
Substitute these values into equation 1
- R = √[8²+10²-2×8×10cos120°]
- R = √[64+100-160cos120°]
- R =√ [164-160(-0.5)]
- R = √[164+80]
- R = √(244)
- R = 15.62 N
Hence, the resultant force of both forces is 15.62 N.
