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!

What force stops a box from falling through a table if it sits on top of it?

The force that stops a box from falling through a table is the normal force. This force is exerted by the table in the upward direction and counteracts the downward force (weight) of the box, preventing it from falling through the table.


What is the force that stops falling through the table?

The force that stops you from falling through the table is the electromagnetic force between the electrons in the atoms of your body and the atoms in the table. This force arises from the repulsion between the negative charges of the electrons.


A box is sitting on a table. The upward force exerted on the box that stops it from falling through the table is known as the force.?

A box is sitting on a table. The upward force exerted on the box that stops it from falling through the table is known as the force.


When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached what?

When the drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity, the object has reached terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed due to the balance between these two forces.


What are some characteristics of terminal velocity?

Terminal velocity is the constant speed reached by an object falling through a fluid, when the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force. The object stops accelerating and falls at a steady velocity. Terminal velocity depends on the mass, size, and shape of the object and the properties of the fluid it is falling through.

Upthrust


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

Terminal velocity is the constant speed reached by an object falling through a fluid, when the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force. The object stops accelerating and falls at a steady velocity. Terminal velocity depends on the mass, size, and shape of the object and the properties of the fluid it is falling through.


When will an object stop falling toward earth stop accelerating?

at terminal velocity


What is it called when a falling objects stops accelerating?

it stops accelerating at terminal velocity due to the air


When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?

In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
