Question

define contact and non-contact forces, Give 2 examples of each.

ok · Accepted Answer

contact forces are forces that are applied to bodies through physical contact. e.g- friction, the tension on a string.
non-contact forces are forces applies to bodies without physical contact. e.g- gravitational force, electrostatic force.
