it is pulling
it is pulling
It's also tractor. Most people use the term tractor to describe the vehicle doing the pulling. However if you understand the breakdown of the term attraction, it makes this easier to understand. Also used in many sci-fi space films was the "Tractor" beam

∙ 15y agoGravity is the cause of an attraction between two masses.
But what about these reasons? If two objects have opposite electrostatic charges then they will attract each other. If the two objects are magnetic then they may attract each other if the opposite poles are nearest.

Do hot objects move heat to other objects without touching them?
yes
Things that are like a magnet or vacuum that pull something in without touching what their pulling in?
The things that pull things in without touching are called suctions.
What objects are similar because they are both areas where forces can act without objects touching?
electric current
Why is gravitation an example of a nonxontact force?
It acts on objects at a distance without touching them.
When two objects transfer electrons without touching?
This process is called induction by an electrical field.

What is the concept of a catapult?
The concept of it is to fling heavy stuff far without a lot of effort of pushing it or pulling it
What is a force only exerted when objects touch?
A contact force? The answer really depends on the level of the question. Primary school answer: A pushing or pulling force, or a friction force occur when objects touch. High school answer: Same as above, but 'pushing' and 'pulling' would be replaced with positive and negative. Friction would be defined as a force that opposes motion, and would include air resistance and drag. University answer: Technically, there is no such force, as all forces act at a distance without touching. In fact, objects don't actually 'touch' one another at all. The outer electrons in an object's atoms will repel said electrons from another object's atoms through the electromagnetic force. This only makes it feel like the objects have come into contact with one another, when in fact they haven't.

How do you move a hand made vehicle without pushing or pulling it?
carry it Unless you also hand-made an engine for the vehicle.
Can magnets attract objects without touching them?
A magnet has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic field causes a magnetic force that can attract objects to the magnet.
What is a proximity sensor used for?
A proximity sensor is used for detecting close objects by emitting an electromagnetic field. These are useful for detecting objects without touching them.
