Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
  
          F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.

1. 168.1 Hz

To find the apparent frequency heard by the driver in the car, we can use the formula for the Doppler effect:

f'=(\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s})f

where

f is the original sound of the horn

v is the speed of sound

v_o is the velocity of the observer (the driver and the car), which is positive if the observer is moving towards the source and negative if it is moving away

v_s is the velocity of the sound source (the train), which is positive if the source is moving away from the observer and negative otherwise

In this problem we have, according to the sign convention used:

v = 343 m/s\\f = 164 Hz\\v_o = -15 m/s\\v_s = -23 m/s

Substituting, we find:

f'=(\frac{343-15}{343-23})(164)=168.1 Hz

2.  2.96\cdot 10^8 m/s

The speed of light can be calculated as

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

In this problem:

d=2\cdot 3.85\cdot 10^8 =7.7\cdot 10^8 m is the total distance travelled by the laser beam (twice the distance between the Earth and the Moon)

t = 2.60 s is the time taken

Substituting in the formula,

v=\frac{7.7\cdot 10^8 m}{2.60 s}=2.96\cdot 10^8 m/s

What law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object
UNO [17]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be stated  

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

in another form,

Force = mass * acceleration
