Question

Force 1: The squeezing force applied to remove water from a wet cloth Force 2: The gravitational force exerted by Earth on the moon Which statement is true about the forces? (3 points) Question 5 options: 1) Both are contact forces. 2) Both are non-contact forces. 3) Force 1 is a contact force and Force 2 is a non-contact force. 4) Force 1 is a non-contact force and Force 2 is a contact force.

Answer 1

3) Force 1 is a contact force and Force 2 is a non-contact force.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is a phenomenon that causes a change in phsical quantity. It is expressed as the product of mass and acceleration.

Contact force is a type force that involves physical contact between two bodies or more. An example is the pulling of a cart. Also, when the wet clothe is being squeeze, a physical contact is established.

Non-contact force occurs between bodies in which there is no physical contact. An example is gravitational force of attraction between two bodies.
