What is the mechanical property associated with the fall of an object to the ground?

So, lets say that I have a graphite box and I let it fall on the ground by simply loosing my hands of the box, so it falls on the ground and crashes.

​

What is the property associated? what gives resistance of impact to the ground? is it flexural strenght?

​

Thank you
