(1) Applying brakes on a car

(iv) The hammering of iron tools

(v) The force acting between two charged bodies

Which among these are examples of non-contact forces​

Answer 1

Answer:

the examples of non contact force are-

1 ,2,5

Answer 2

Non contact forces among given examples are -

1. A ripe mango falling to the ground
2. The attraction of iron nails by a magnet
3. The force acting between two charged bodies

• The force acting in first example is gravitational force. The force acting in second example is magnetic force and the force acting in third example is electric force.

• Non contact forces are the ones that act on body in absence of any type of physical contact. Contact forces on the other hand require physical contact for action.
