Question

distinguish between:
Contact and non-contact forces

✓

Answer

Contact and non-contact forces,

No	Contact forces	Non-contact forces
i.	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.
ii.	Example: gravitational force, electrostatic force, magnetostatic force etc.	Example: Frictional force, force exerted due to collision, normal reaction etc.
