A force exactly equal to your weight. If you weigh 100 lbs and you sit, lie or stand still, the ground pushes up on you with a force of 100 lbs. This is an example of Newton's First Law of Motion in a static setting. If the ground pushed on you with more than 100 lbs, then you would rise up, if it pushed you with less than 100 lbs, you would sink down. The fact that you stay still shows the forces acting on your body (gravity pulling down and the ground pushing up) are exactly equal and opposite.

According To Newtons 3rd Law Of Motion For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction Then How Come Things Move If Theres Going To Be Something Moving Them Back With Equal Force?
To say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is slightly misleading you, as these forces are NOT on the same object. Better to say 'if A exerts a force on B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A'. When I stand on my bathroom scales, I exert a downward force on the scales, which deflect until they exert an equal and opposite force on me, thus preventing me from falling. Acceleration occurs to ME when forces on ME are unbalanced. e.g. if I stood on a rocket the upward force of the rocket on me is greater than the downward force of gravity, so I would accelerate upwards. These are NOT action-reaction forces. What are action-reaction forces are the force I exert on the rocket and the force the rocket exerts on me.
Does net force allows you to stand up from a chair?
Not necessarily. A net force could be zero. An unbalanced force allows you to stand up from a chair.
What is an example of newton third law?
-- When you push on a brick wall with a force of 50 pounds, the brick wall pushes back on you with a force of 50 pounds. That way, the forces on the palm of your hand are balanced, and your hand doesn't accelerate. -- When you stand on the ground with a force of 185 pounds, the ground pushes back on the bottom of your shoes with a force of 185 pounds. That way, the forces on the soles of your shoes are balanced, and your feet don't accelerate.
What does the VEI stand for?
It could stand for Volcanic Explosive Index. I describes the force of a volcanic explosion
What does F equals MA Stand For?
force = mass * acceleration
Whenever you exert a force on an object the object exerts a force back on you that is?
Simple answer: yes In order for you to stand, talk, move... ect objects must exert a force on you. For example if you are standing on the ground, the ground has to be pushing back at you, or you would just fall through. If an object doesn't exert the same force you exert on it, then you are moving the object.
If you stand on one foot you increase the pressure you exert on the ground because?
you have decreased the area over which the force is applied, and pressure is force per unit area
How much force does a floor exert on you?
When you stand on a floor, the force that you exert on the floor because of your weight is equal to the force with which the floor supports your weight.
When you stand on a floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet?
Yes
When standing on the floor does the floor exert an apward force against your fit how much force does exert why you are not move forward by the floor?
Yes, the force exerted by the floor on our feet is equal to the force that our feet exerted on the floor, or it just depends on your weight, If you are heavier than the normal. When you stand, the longer the time you stand, the more pain you feel on your feet. And we can't be move upward by the force that the floor exerted on our feet because of the force of our weight that keeps us on the ground, and also because of gravity.
Are you stand on floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet how much force does it exert why are you not moved upward by this force?
The floor is a stationary object (in relationship to you). The floor will provide only enough force to match the force of gravity holding you down. It has to be equal.
Why is the mass in F equals ma not just equal to the mass?
Because in the formula F - ma the F represents the size of the force, but the m stands for mass and the a stands for the rate of acceleration. In a simple case, when you stand on the ground you exert a force which is your weight, while the ground is pushing up at you with an equal force. The result is that you have no motion down or up. Your equation states that "your force" due to gravity equals the "upward force" on your feet, so F = m , but if an object is to move a force has to be applied, and if this force is constant the body will accelerate.
Will you exert more pressure when you stand on your toes or when you stand flatfooted?
on your toes
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.
What is meant by third law of motion explain with examples?
When object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts the same force on object A, but in the opposite direction. That means, if you hit a wall with a force of, let's say 50 N, the wall will hit you back with the same force. If you stand on the floor and exert a force of 1000 N, the floor exerts the same force on you, so there is no resultant force, and that is why you stand on it.
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.
Why is the pressure on ground match more when a man stand on the question the when he lies the lies on the?
When a man stands on the ground his weight (force) is spread over a small area, causing high pressure on the ground (pressure is force divided by area). When a man lies on the ground his same weight (force) is spread over a larger area, causing low pressure on the ground (pressure is force divided by area).
