Whether they are, or are not, exerted depends on the physical situation. For example, magnets won't lose their magnetic force if you make them touch. And if objects stick together, they are certainly exerting a force on one another.

What are contact forces and which forces are contact?

Contact forces are forces that can only have an effect on objects that they touch, such as when you contact a box and apply force to move it. you might apply a contact force to bend, tear, stretch, compress, or twist and abject. Tension force, friction force, and elastic force are examples of contact forces.


Are electrostatic forces contact forces?

no because their atoms do not touch


What effect does a negative object have on a neutral object?

If the event horizon (space, in this case) of one of the items is breeched by the other and touch, the neutral object becomes negatively charged. If they never touch, they both remain in their present condition. The neutral object's condition will never affect the charge of the negatively charged object, whether they touch or do not touch. The negatively charged item's condition will never change, regardless of physical touch between the two items. ***************Contributed by Czar Acumen*******************
