The force pulling a truck down hill is 2000 N. What is the amount of static friction acting on the truck it the truck does not move?

since you're a real machine, your ama is always less than your ima, because you can never totally eliminate friction.

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

conservation of mass

mass before something happens = mass afterwards
