The electromagnetic forces holding molecules together within the table provide a mesh like structure that prevents the molecules of other objects protruding (or falling) through it!

gravitinal force]


Which force stops a parachutist falling to earth uncontrollably?

Upthrust


What force stops a parachute from falling too fast?

What would you call it when air resistance the force of gravity and a falling object stops accelerating?

When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.


When falling on a concrete floor compared with falling on a cushioned floor what is the force that stops your momentum?

The force involved is the electromagnetic force either way. Physics doesn't much care how pleasant the experience is for you.


What is it when a falling object stops accelerating?

terminal velocity, or free fall, as the air drag cancels gravity force and stops aacceleration


What type of motion is in spinning top?

well the motion is round and round but the force that stops it falling over is centrifugal force :)


If a ball is falling down with the G force and hits the ground what force will it make to have an acceleration that stops the ball InstantlY?

A falling object, such as a ball, can stop very quickly (in a thousandth of a second or thereabouts) but nothing stops instantly. To stop in zero time would take infinite force.


What is it called when a falling objects stops accelerating?

it stops accelerating at terminal velocity due to the air


Which encounters the greater force of air resistance a falling elephant or a falling feather?

A falling elephant encounters a greater force of air resistance than a falling feather does. The force of air resistance can't be greater than the weight of the falling object. When the force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, the object stops accelerating, its falling speed becomes constant, and the force of air resistance doesn't get any bigger. So the force of air resistance against a falling feather can't be greater than the weight of the feather. But the force of air resistance against a falling elephant can be, and undoubtedly is, greater than the weight of a feather.


What is it when gravity and speed are balanced?

I assume you mean when the acceleration of gravity stops altering the velocity of a falling object. At this point the force of air friction is equal but opposite to the force of gravity, velocity stops increasing in magnitude. This is called "terminal velocity."
