A box is sitting on a table. The upward force exerted on the box that stops it from falling through the table is known as the force.?

What is the upward force that acts on an object that is falling through the air?
Air resistance.
What is an upward force?
It is a force which acts in the upward direction.
How much force is needed to keep a 20N stone from falling?
20 N (upward)
What is the direction of air resistance on a falling object ?
Just like any other source of friction, air resistance effectively results in a force opposite to the object's motion. If the object is falling, then the force is upward.
What force keeps things from falling through surfaces?
Support Force
Upward force on a bird's wing?
It is called Lift. The difference in pressure above and below the wigs as a bird moves through the air produces an upward force that causes the bird to rise.
What force keeps you from falling through your bed when you lie on it to sleep?
Magnetic Force
When an object is falling at terminal velocity what is the net force acting on the object?
Zero. "Terminal velocity" means that the object is no longer accelerating; the downward force of gravity and the upward force of resistance are in balance.
Is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity?
Lift is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity.
What is the direction and magnitude of the net force acting on a rain drop falling down with constant speed?
If the raindrop is falling at a constant speed, then it has reached terminal velocity. This happens when the downward force (due to gravity) is the same as the upward force due to friction. As such the net force acting on the rain drop is 0.
What is a general force that people encounter daily?
gravity, the one that keeps you falling down. or the electromagnetic force which keeps you from falling through the floor.
