Answer:

an attractive force

a noncontact force

a vertical force

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational force is a NON-CONTACT FORCE. Gravitational force acts on all bodies on the earth that have mass. The force which is exerted through weight acts on the center of gravity of the body. The force is directed towards the center of the earth. The weight of a body is the gravitational force exerted by the earth on the body.
