Question

(a)Give one example of a situation,in which the force acting on a body slows down a moving object without having any direct contact with that body.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed, or actually the velocity, of a moving object, if no force is acting on it, will be in a straight line with a constant speed (no acceleration), as required by the First of Newton's laws

Answer 2

Answer:

When a ball is thrown upwards, it ultimately falls down because of the gravitational force of the Earth. In this case, the gravity of the Earth forces the ball to fall down without any direct contact. So, it is a non-contact force.
