Timeline for A vector represents a force with its magnitude and direction but could it also represent the time it was applied for?

If you move, certainly your position will change if you keep the same velocity for different interval of time. Nevertheless, this still allows to speak about your position at a time $t$. | |

If I'm allowed to say that I can make the resultant force happen for a shorter or longer period of time than its components will it then be the only case that the resultant will be different than 15 N right? | |

And even if I increase that duration, say the first duration was $5$ seconds and now I make it $15$ seconds, the resultant force magnitude won't inscrease? Or will it? | |
