Any object that is launched as a projectile will lose speed and, as a result, altitude, as it travels through the air. The rate at which the object loses speed and altitude depends on the amount of force that way applied to it when it was launched. It is also dependent on the size and shape of the item. This is why something like, say, a football is much faster to fall to the ground than a bullet.
A) The resultant force is 30.4 N at 
B) The resultant force is 18.7 N at 
Explanation:
A)
In order to find the resultant of the two forces, we must resolve each force along the x- and y- direction, and then add the components along each direction to find the components of the resultant.
The two forces are:
at
above x-axis
at
above y-axis
Resolving each force:


So, the components of the resultant are:

And the magnitude of the resultant is:

And the direction is:

B)
In this case, the 15 N is applied in the opposite direction to the 20 N force. Therefore we need to re-calculate its components, keeping in mind that the angle of the 15 N force this time is

So we have:

So, the components of the resultant this time are:

And the magnitude is:

And the direction is:
