A non-contact force is any force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it
example:
A human body's weight is a non-contact force exerted by the Earth on their mass
a contact force is a force between two objects (or an object and a surface) that are in contact with each other.
example
An example of contact force commonly encountered in college-level physics is the force between two masses A and B which are lying next to each other and a force F

Why is gravity a noncontact force?
That simply means that it requires no contact between the objects to act.
Is static a contact or non-contact force?
it is a noncontact force because before two objects touch, the electical charge held in one of the objects will "jump" to the other object, causing a static shock
What are the differences between conduction and convection?
Conduction is the transfer of energy by contact while convection is the transfer when liquid particles move in a cyclic manner when it is heated.
How do you explain Poiseuille's law?
When two layers of a liquid in contact with each other move at different speeds, there will be a force between them. See Wikipedia for details.
What are three examples of noncontact forces?
A sound field, an electrical field, a magnetic field, and a gravity field would all be examples of non-contact forces. But though their effects are 'non-contact' their presence may nevertheless be easily detected.
Is gravity a contact or noncontact force?

How are forces classified?
force can be classified as contact and noncontact
Describe contact force and noncontact force that affect the motion of a baseball a pitcher has thrown the ball?
The contact force will keep the ball moving but as the ball goes farther the ball slows down that's were the non contact force comes in it makes the ball not in contact
What are the differences between contact and agreement?
None, if you meant "contract".
What are the major differences between high contact and low contact service systems?
The major differences between high-contact and low-contact service systems: high-contact system-to receive the service, the customer must be part of the system. Low-contact system is when customers are not in contact with the any services while the service is performed.
Is static a contact or non-contact force?
it is a noncontact force because before two objects touch, the electical charge held in one of the objects will "jump" to the other object, causing a static shock
What were some differences between sports now and sports in the 1930s?
We developed new rules and got better equipment for contact sports.

What was an effect of contact between the plains Indians and Spanish?
The Plains Indians began to rely on horses.
