Question
Answer the following question.
Distinguish between contact and non-contact forces
Solution
| Contact forces | Non-contact forces | |
| 1. | The forces experienced by a body due to physical contact are called contact forces. | The forces experienced by a body without any physical contact are called non-contact forces. |
| 2. | Examples: Frictional force, force exerted due to collision, normal reaction etc. |
Examples: Gravitational force, electrostatic force, magnetostatic force etc. |
