In mechanics, the force exerted upwards by the surface that a body sits on is equal and opposite to the force exerted downwards by that body and is referred to as the Ground Reaction Force (GRF) or simply Reaction.

As you leap upward from the ground how does the force that you exert on the ground compare with your weight?

As you leap upward from the ground, the force exerted on the ground in the moment of leaping is greater than your weight. This allows you to accelerate upwards. Gravity, of course, will bring you back down, causing another momentary force on the ground in excess of your weight as you decelerate.


When you are standing on the ground how much upward force is exerted on you by the earth?

The force is exactly equal to your weight.


This force help a ship float?

The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.


When you are standing on ground how much upward force exerted on you why does this force not lift u up?

Because there is an equal and opposite force pulling you down: gravity.


Why does building foundations have a large horizontal area of contact with the ground?

this is because when the area of contact between the ground and the building increases the pressure exerted by the building will be less for the same force.


What is the up force on a moving car?

Any object moving or stationary that is on the ground is subjected to a normal/reaction force upwards.


If a force is exerted to the left what direction will the reaction force be exerted?

Formula of Archimedes?

Archimedes Principle states that when an object is put in water, or some other fluid, the buoyant force exerted on it is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. This means that if an object is partially submerged in water, its apparent weight will lessen because of the force exerted upwards on it by the water.


The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?

Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.


What machine can get a large rock out of the ground?

A large lever can move a boulder by increasing your lifting power. With the fulcrum closer to the boulder and your force exerted farther away, you can lift it. The lever changes a small force exerted over a long path into a large force exerted over a small path.


What is the scientific definition of force?

Pressure depends on the quantity of force exerted and the area over which the force is exerted


What is a force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted?
