Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\mathbb\pink{ Contact Forces}$

→ Contact force is a force that is applied by objects in contact with each other. The contact force acts on a point of direct contact between the two objects.

$\huge\mathbb\pink{ Non- Contact Forces}$

→ A non-contact force is a force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it. Non-contact forces come into play when objects do not have physical contact between them or when a force is applied without any interaction.
