Q

What are contact and non-contact forces?
What are some examples of them?

A

Contact forces are forces that have to make contact with something for it to react and an example of this would be friction and air resistance.

Non contact forces are forces that don’t need to make contact to function like gravitational pull and magnetic forces.
