Question

Define: Action at a distance force
​

Answer 1

Action at a distance is the concept in which an object can be moved, changed, or affected without the mechanical contact by another object.

Explanation:

• It is the non-local interaction of objects that are separated in space.
• This term is mostly used in the early theories (like Coulomb's law and Newton's law of universal gravitation) of gravity and electromagnetism. This was helpful to the scientists to describe how an object reacts to the influence of the distant objects.  
• More generally "action at a distance" describes the failure of early atomistic and mechanistic theories which sought to reduce all physical interaction to collision. The exploration and resolution of this problematic phenomenon led to significant developments in physics, from the concept of a field, to descriptions of quantum entanglement and the mediator particles of the Standard Model.

Answer 2

Answer:

Action-at-a-distance forces are those types of forces that result even when the two interacting objects are not in physical contact with each other, yet are able to exert a push or pull despite their physical separation. Examples of action-at-a-distance forces include gravitational forces.
