Answer
Contact forces require direct physical touch between objects to exert an influence, whereas non-contact forces act on objects without direct physical contact.
- Contact Force Example: Friction (e.g., a book sliding across a table experiences friction from the table's surface).
- Non-Contact Force Example: Gravity (e.g., the Earth's gravitational pull on the Moon, or an apple falling from a tree).
