Non-contact force is a force that can exert a push, or pull an object without actually having any physical contact with that object. This happens when force is applied on some object by another object without any interaction or contact between those two objects. In a non-contact force, the force is transmitted over distance. Some refer to these types of forces as “action-at-a-distance forces.” Examples of non-contact forces include magnetic, gravitational and electrostatic force.

Answer:

The more massive an object is, the greater the gravitational force. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the distance between two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this help:)
