Example of a non-contact force
Electric force
If an object its moving to the right, this force is pushing to pulling to the left
Friction
Friction
A contact force
What do we call a force that causes an object to accelerate

The force that keeps objects on top of surfaces instead of letting them sink into the surface is known as
Normal
A contact force is
Objects physically touching
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

A soccer ball accelerates more than a bowling bowl when thrown with the same force.
Newtons 2nd law

Tension
What do we call a force that has a net force of zero Newtons and the object does not change its motion
Balanced force
Two objects rub together, what force do they produce
Friction
A non-contact force is between
