Definition
Non contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically into contact with it.
What are Non-contact Forces?
Non-contact forces are those that act on an object without coming physically in contact with it. The most common non-contact force is gravity, which pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. Other examples of non-contact forces include electromagnetic forces, such as the force that attracts or repels magnets, and the force that holds electrons in orbit around the nucleus of an atom.
Examples of Non-contact Forces
Non-contact forces are forces that do not require physical contact between objects in order to exert an influence on them. The prime examples of non-contact forces are the forces exerted by magnets and electric fields. Other examples include forces exerted by gravity, air resistance, and friction.
Some examples of non-contact forces include:
– Friction
– Air resistance
– Gravity
Difference Between Contact and Non-Contact Forces
Contact forces are those that act on an object when the object is in contact with another object. Non-contact forces are those that act on an object when the object is not in contact with another object.
