Newton's first law states
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.There are forces acting on the table setting. In particular there is gravity, approximately perpendicular to the plane of the table holding the silver, plates and glassware in place. These gravitational forces are balanced by the integrity of the table itself. These forces are applied on opposite sides of the tablecloth.Inherent in the system are the coefficients of friction between tablecloth and table as well as the various coefficients of friction between tablecloth and set pieces. These coefficients will give the amount of force that will be applied should the tablecloth be moved - either slowly or rapidly.
If the table cloth is moved, the aforesaid forces will be brought to act on each item. The total impulse on the objects would be the acceleration due to friction times the duration of the movement. The net velocity imparted to the place setting would by the acceleration from the force of friction time the time of acceleration.
By reducing the amount of time that the force is applied, it is possible to reduce the impulse and resulting velocity of the table setting pieces. Also, by choosing a tablecloth with a low coefficient of friction the impulse imparted would be reduced. The moving pieces are then slowed by the friction of the table-set piece coefficient of friction.
In the limit then the table cloth can be removed leaving the place setting minimally disturbed.

Will a tablecloth that is 155 cm long cover a table that is 1.6 m long?
Yes, a tablecloth that is 155 cm long will cover a table that is 1.6 m long. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, the table is 160 cm long. Therefore, the tablecloth will fully cover the table with some extra length.

Explain why some people can pull a tablecloth out from under the plates on a table without movingthe plates?
When pulling a tablecloth out from under plates on a table, friction plays a key role. If the tablecloth is pulled quickly enough, the plates will have a harder time overcoming static friction with the tablecloth and will stay in place due to inertia. This allows the tablecloth to be removed without moving the plates. It requires a quick and smooth motion to ensure the plates remain stationary.
How do I calculate the drop length of my tablecloth?
For a Rectangle table: Measure the width and length of your table, then subtract those numbers from the width and length of the tablecloth and then divide by 2. For a Round table: Measure your table at its widest, then subtract from the tablecloth diameter and then divide by 2. Example: Your table is a 60" round. The tablecloth is a 90" round. 90"-60"=30" 30" divided by 2=15" 15" the drop around the table!
