Because the table applied the same force back to your hand, this is what the third law of motion states (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction), so if you hit the table with a 100 Newton's your hand receives the exact same force

Is the scientific law explain why something happens?

No, scientific laws describe what happens under certain conditions, based on repeated observations and experiments. They do not explain why things happen, but provide a framework for understanding and predicting natural phenomena.


What happens if a balloon is inhaled?

If a balloon is accidentally inhaled, it can block the airway and cause choking. Seeking immediate medical attention is crucial if this occurs to prevent potential complications or injury.


How do scientists explain why this happens?

Scientists explain phenomena by using observations, experiments, and theories to make sense of the underlying principles that govern how things work. They rely on the scientific method to systematically test hypotheses and draw conclusions based on evidence. Through this process, scientists can develop models and theories to explain why things happen in the natural world.


What happens when a balloon is rubbed against a wall?

Rubbing a balloon against a wall transfers electrons from the wall to the balloon, giving the balloon a negative charge. This charge causes the balloon to stick to the wall due to electrostatic attraction.


What happens when glass is put under paper when rubbed against silk?

When glass is placed under paper and rubbed against silk, the friction generated can lead to the glass developing a static electric charge. This happens because the glass interacts with the silk and the paper, causing the transfer of electrons between the materials. This can result in the glass becoming negatively charged.
