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.
