When a cup is placed on a table, which force prevents the cup from falling to the ground?

A. gravitational force

B. normal force

OC. resistance force

D. tension force

B. normal force

Explanation:

Because there is no frictional or resistance force. However gravitational force is applied downroad from the center of the cup thus the contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object contacts which is the normal force exerted upward from the table that prevents an object from falling.
