Question

Both the gravitational and electric force between objects are considered ____ .

A) pushing forces
B) contact forces
C) field forces
D) applied forces

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A huge variety of physical phenomena during interaction is determined by only four types of interactions: electromagnetic, weak, strong and gravitational.

Answer:

C) Field forces

Answer 2

C) field forces

Step-by-step explanation:

A) pushing forces (wrong option)

---> gravitational force: an invisible force that pulls objects towards the earth

---> electric force: a contact force that pushes or pulls objects without making any contact, making it a technically non-pushing force

B) contact forces (wrong option)

---> gravitational force: since it is an invisible force (as stated in the explanation for option A), it is a non-contact force

---> electric force: as stated in the explanation for option A, it is also a non-contact force

C) field forces (correct option)

---> gravitational force: is a type of force field since it is a non-contact force

---> electric force: is also a type of force field that cause the attraction or repulsion of forces without actual contact between the charges

D) applied forces (wrong option)

---> not applicable for both forces as supported by all the above information
