What does "finalize objects on finalization queue" do?

When I open the Java Console in Java SE 7 Update 76, I'm shown a list of keyboard shortcuts I can use for debugging. The shortcut for F is labeled finalize objects on finalization queue.

Java Console Help Window

When I run this shortcut, it prints the following information in the console:

Finalize objects on finalization queue ... completed.
Memory: 63,328K  Free: 20,627K  (32%) ... completed.

I'm not entirely sure what this command does, or what the information it gives means. The command doesn't seem to have had any noticeable impact on my active Java applications.
