The force that will push upwards on an object put in water is called buoyancy. Archimedes discovered and accurately described the specifics of this phenomenon over 2000 years ago, and Archimedes' principle is still used today.

the weight of the water that would have been in the space that the object in the
water takes up.

The force is called the "buoyant force". It has the same units and dimension as force
The behavior of a fluid to exert a net upwards (buoyant) force on an immersed/submersed object is called buoyancy.
The amount of buoyant force exerted by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that has been displaced by the object.

What is the gripping force called?
There is no special name for that. Physics is usually just concerned with "forces", and doesn't specify whether the force pushes or pulls. If you want to be more specific, you can just call it a "pulling force".There is no special name for that.

What is the name of the force that holds things to the ground?
GRAVITY
Why is voltage considered to be a forcelike quantity how is it produced?
Voltage is the "force" that pushes the electrons or other charge carriers, producing a current. It should be noted that voltage does not have the units of force; thus, the traditional name "emf" (electromotive force) is misleading.
What is the name of the force that can move things without touching them?
Gravity- or for some things, magnetism.
What is the push or pull of one object on another called?
The push or pull of one object on another is called by the same name in physics. That term is "force."When one object pushes or pulls another object, this is called force. For example, when a person writes, they are exerting force on the pen.
What is the name of the force that pushes agisnt an aireplane as it tries to move forward through the aire?
'Thrust' pushes against it from the rear, and 'drag' pushes against it from the front.

What is the name for units of force for electron flow?
The unit of force is the newton, no matter what type of force. The unit for the "force" that pushes electrons or other charged particles is the volt - but it's not really a force.
What CF is the name for forces where things have to be touching to have an affect?
It is changing force
What is the name of the force which slows things down?
gravity
What is the name of the force that rubs things away?
friction

What is the force called between the bottom of the boat and water?
the name of the force is upthrst and t is greater than the force that the boat excert to/on /in the water
Name a force that you could not see?
It would be air because its in motion but you can not see it .another would be wind it pushes the air and every thing around.
What is the name of the force that makes things that are heavy float?
a dingaling
