It is referred to as the Net Force.
To get the Net Force, one must add and subtract all of the forces acting on an object.
So for an object at rest sitting on a table or some other surface, one knows the net force would be 0 Newtons.
So, once you find the force of gravity, you know that the normal force will be equal to the force of gravity.
It would be the net force.

When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
weight
Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
What is the over all force on an object after all forces are added together called?
Since it is a vector sum, you can call it a resultant force. It is also known as the net force acting on the object.
What are the sum of all forces acting on an object?
I'd call it the resultant, but "net force" is a good name too.
What object is the measure of the force of the gravity on that object?
In our daily life on Earth, we call that the object's "weight".
What do you call the measurement of the gravitatonal force acting on an object?
You call that the "weight" of the object.

What term refers to the sum of all of the acting forces acting on an object?
I'd call it the resultant, but "net force" is a good name too.
What do you call the amount of force placed on something?
That's called the "magnitude of force acting on the object".You can do some things with that information, but not a whole lot,until you also know the direction of the force.
Force of gravity acting on a body?
The force of gravity on every object on Earth is the product of 9.8 meters per second2 times the object's mass. We call the size of that force the object's "weight" on Earth. The number is different in other places. Although the object's mass is the same on other planets, the '9.8' number only applies on Earth.

What force call against moving object?
Friction. Opposing Force
What do you call a force that causes an object to move in a circle?
centripetal force
What is the force of gravity on a person of object at the surface of the earth?
That's the force we usually call the "weight" of the person or object.
What is The measurements of force gravity on an object is the object?
In our daily life on Earth, we call that the object's "weight".
