Question

Which are examples of contact forces?

Answer 1

Contact force is a force that requires a contact between two bodies and is ubiquitous in nature

Step-by-step explanation:

The force is distributed in two categories i.e

• Contact force

• Non-Contact force

Contact Forces are the forces which is requires a contact between two bodies to occur.

The Types of contact forces are given below:

• Frictional Force

• Tension Force
• Normal Force
• Air Resistance Force
• Applied Force
• Spring Force

Some common daily examples of the contact force are

1. Frictional force between the tyres of a moving vehicle and the road.
2. Air flowing in opposite direction of a moving object.
3. Pushing a table with hand and the friction between its base and floor.
4. Stretching a rubber band with hands etc.

Also non-contact forces are Gravitational force, Electrical force and Magnetic force.
