How does a vase on a table overcome gravity? What would happen if you moved the vase off the table? Explain why this would happen?

A vase on a table overcomes gravity because of the upwards force of the table against it, which is stronger than the force of gravity. If you were to move the vase off the table it would no longer have anything stopping gravity from breaking it.
