That comes in the form of em resistance to compressing atoms in the spring example.
The scales are mounted on a table, which deflects slightly under the weight of the scales + your bag of apples. The table exerts an upward force on the scales which is equal and opposite to the downward force of scales + apples.
Consider a glass of water. Nothing is moving up or down

The table is not exerting an upwards force.
Quote from: Thebox on 15/12/2017 18:34:18The table is not exerting an upwards force. Yes it is.A squashed spring pushes back.The rock on a spring balance has a squashed spring under it pushing the rock back up.
the spring compressed by the rock offers compression resistance .
If we were to put the hand break on the car, the car then has inertia greater than the applied force.
The car is not pushing back it is offering resistance.
Now if we was to stop the applied force when the hand break was on the car, do you still think the car pushes back?
Obviously not but it still offers inertia and resistance to change of form.

A question based on two false premises has no meaningful answer.Quote from: Thebox on 15/12/2017 19:24:58Obviously not but it still offers inertia and resistance to change of form. This is not "obvious"; it's not even clear if it's true because you have failed to define the terms you used.Why not stop, and learn some science?
There is only a slight difference , one can push with a force than can move the object being pushed continuously , where the other can only push to support and keep form, position not changing.
