    Contact and Non Contact Forces

    Uploaded by

    Faizan Ahmed
    Forces can be categorized as either contact or non-contact forces. Contact forces require physical contact between objects, such as friction, normal reaction, tension, and spring forces. Non-contact forces act over a distance without direct physical contact, such as gravitational, electrostatic, and magnetic forces. Non-contact forces depend on separation distance and can be either attractive or repulsive, while gravitational forces are always attractive. Contact and non-contact forces are the two main types of forces based on whether they require direct physical contact between objects.

    The passage discusses different types of forces including contact forces and non-contact forces.

    The two main types of forces discussed are contact forces and non-contact forces.

    Some examples of contact forces mentioned are frictional force, normal reaction force, and tension force.

    Contact and Non-Contact Forces Effect of


    Force and Units
    A force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of
    an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change
    its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push
    or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction

    Contact and Non-Contact Forces:


    The force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it is
    called non-contact force. The most familiar example of a non-contact force
    is weight. In contrast, a contact force is a force applied to a body by another
    body that is in contact with it. However, it is to be noted that the origin of all
    contact forces (such as friction) can be traced to non-contact forces.
    Force:
    A Force is that physical cause which changes or tends to change either the size
    or shape or the state of rest or motion of the body.

     From the point of view of an application, they are 2 types, Contact and Non-
    Contact forces.

    Contact Forces:
    The forces which act on bodies when they are in physical contact are called the
    Contact forces.

    Examples of contact Forces:


     Frictional Force:
    When a body slide (or rolls) over a rough surface, a force starts acting on it in a
    direction opposite to its motion, along with the surface in contact. This force is
    called Frictional Force.

     Normal Reaction Force:


    When a body is placed on a surface, the body exerts a force equal to its weight
    downwards on the surface, but the body does not move or fall because the
    surface exerts an equal and opposite force on the body normal to the surface.
    This force is called Normal Reaction Force.

     Tension Force:
    When a body is suspended by a string, the body, due to its weight W, pulls the
    string vertically downwards and the string in its stretched condition pulls the
    body upwards by a force which balances the weight of the body. This force is
    called the Tensile Force (T).

     Spring Force:
    If one end of a spring is kept fixed and its other end which is directly
    proportional to its displacement and is exerted in a direction opposite to the
    direction of displacement. This is called Spring/Restoring Force.

    Non-Contact Forces:
    The forces experienced by bodies even without being physically touched are
    called the Non-Contact Forces or the Forces at a distance.

    Examples of non-contact Forces:


     Gravitational Forces:
    The body on a force due to earth's attraction is called the force of Gravity. In the
    universe, all particles attract one another due to its mass.

     Electrostatic Force:
    Two like charges repel and 2 unlike charges attract each other, the force
    between these charges is called Electrostatic Force.

     Magnetic Force:
    Two like magnetic poles repel and 2 unlike magnetic poles attract each other,
    the force between these magnetic poles is called Magnetic Force.
    General characters of non-contact forces:
    The gravitational force is always of attractive nature, while the electrostatic and
    magnetic forces can be either attractive or repulsive.

    The magnitude of Non-Contact forces depends on the distance of separation


    between them. It decreases with the increase in separation and increases with
    the decrease in separation.
