∙ 13y agoIt's a contact force:
The friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it.
That force is when an object is sliding on a surface, even thought it's not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object.
For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion.

Is friction contact or non-contact force?
non contact
Is friction acontact or non contact force?
It is a contact force.
Is friction is a non-contact force?
a contact force requires two bodies to either touch each other(are in contact) or are interacting through a medium(rope, pole). example of contact force is friction.
Does the nature in contact influence friction force?
Since friction means a contact force, the nature of contact will influence friction force. Smoothness of objects affect the friction force. However, as contact pressure rises, the friction does not rise.
Is electrostatic force a contact or non-contact force?
Static electricity is a non contact force because : Whether an object is charged by conduction or induction or even by friction they acquire a charge and the objects acquire opposite charge in induction and friction but same charge in conduction. So when the charged body is brought near an uncharged body if they have opposite charge they will be attracted towards the charged body due to the movement of ionic particles.
Is friction contact or non-contact force?

Is friction acontact or non contact force?

Is friction a contact or non conact force?

3 contact forces?
The three contact forces is push or pull or friction & the non contact force is gravity & magnitism.

Is magnetic force is contact or non contact?
Magnetic force is a non-contact force.
What is the relationship between contact force and friction?
Generally, the higher the contact force, the higher the friction.
Is friction contact or non contact?
Contact.
Is elastic force a contact force or a non- contact force?
A spring force is a contact force not a non-contact force.
Is a force a contact or non contact force?
Force can be both contact or non-contact
