What is a force that acts in an upward direction that opposes the downward force of an object?
The force that opposes a downward force on an object would be called the "normal force". For example, it is as a result of the normal force that people do not fall though the ground the same way that they fall through the air.
Which force draws the cooler denser crust downward and away from the mid-ocean ridge?
gravity
What force or forces are acting on the crate?
The weight of the crate is acting downward on the ground and the ground is exerting a force equal to the weight of the crate upward on the crate.
A crate is at rest on the ground what force or forces are acting on the crate?
The weight of the crate is acting downward on the ground and the ground is exerting a force equal to the weight of the crate upward on the crate.
What if your body applies force to the ground as weight. If you weigh 450 newtons and carry a backpack that weighs 45 newtons what is the net force applied downward to the ground?
495 n

Why does every thingis drop down towards ground?
"things" or precipitation (rain), drops toward the ground because of the gravity force pushing it downward.
What is the force between shoes and the ground?
When you stand still . . . The sole of your shoe exerts a downward force equal to your weight against the ground. The ground exerts an upward force equal to your weight against the sole of your shoe. The net force where the sole of your shoe meets the ground is zero, which is the reason that your shoe doesn't accelerate vertically.
Which exerts more force on the ground a person lying down or standing up?
in which situation you exert more force downward, standing or lying horizantilly?
Is there static equilibrium on objects with wheels?
Yes. A car has static equilibrium because of the downward force of the wheels on the ground.
What force is applied between your shoes and the ground?
When you stand still . . . The sole of your shoe exerts a downward force equal to your weight against the ground. The ground exerts an upward force equal to your weight against the sole of your shoe. The net force where the sole of your shoe meets the ground is zero, which is the reason that your shoe doesn't accelerate vertically.
What The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of?
If we neglect the effect of air resistance, an object is accelerating toward the ground at 9.8 m/s^2. When you determine an object's weight, you multiply its mass by this number. My point is that weight is the downward force on an object.
