Forces: Contact vs. Non-Contact
Know the difference
A contact force happens when objects touch. Examples include a push, tension (the pulling force carried by a taut rope), and friction between surfaces. Other forces can act across a gap. Gravity pulls objects towards Earth, and magnets can attract or repel some materials without touching them.
