What type of force prevents you from falling through the kitchen floor?

Atoms are made of an electrically positive nucleus and electrically negative electrons.
However, they are mainly empty space.
It is the nature of atomic structure that prevents you falling through the floor.
In simple terms, you could say the force is electrical repulsion by the outer electrons of the atoms in the person and in the floor.
However, the proper answer depends on "quantum theory".
The most important thing here is called the "Pauli Exclusion Principle".
Basically, electrons can't easily be "squashed together".
If you try to stand on water you'll probably fall through that.
So, there's something else that's important.
It is the "cohesive force" that holds stuff together.
At the level of atoms, that force is chemical bonding of various sorts.
Chemical bonds are based on electrical forces.
So, the answer to this question is "electrical force and the properties of electrons in atoms".

To stop the table in your class falling through the floor what must the floor do against the force of gravity pulling the table down?
The floor must exert a force equal to that of the force exerted on the desk from gravity. This force is called a "normal force"
How is heat lost through the floor?
it is lost by travelling through the floor:)
Why is falling on a floor with more give less dangerous than falling on a floor with less give?
When a person (or any object) falls on a floor, the damage is usually caused by rapid deceleration. When the floor has more give, the object will decelerate more slowl Another Answer: Newton's first law of motion tells us that any object in motion tends to want to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force. In the case of people falling, injuries occur from deceleration because not all parts of the body stop at once. The leading parts of the body, usually extremities, contact the floor first, followed by the core of the body, and then followed by the internal organs colliding with one another and against the outer structures. Energy left over from the falling motion is either turned into heat, or reflected back into the falling body, causing further injury as structures and organs get jostled around. When falling to a floor that has "give" to it, this means that the floor can flex when explosed to the energy of a falling body, and dissipate some of that energy, slow deceleration, and reducing the likelihood of injury. The amount of energy is determined by both the mass of the person falling, and the speed at which he or she is falling, so after a certain point, even a floor with "give" is not going to flex enough to avoid significant, likely fatal injury.
What force prevents people from sliding when they walk?
Friction. Gravity holds us to the floor, friction keeps us from slipping.
What happens to kinetic energy of a falling book when the book hits the floor?

How do you stop a table falling through the floor?
Use mach bike when overing them.
What is a general force that people encounter daily?
gravity, the one that keeps you falling down. or the electromagnetic force which keeps you from falling through the floor.
