Because it is two surfaces rubbing against each other, in this case it creates heat and possibly static electricity. To touch; contact. If two surfaces rub against each other forcefully this is a 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.

Because in frictional force two objects come in contact with each other which go in opposite direction. Example- a man walking on the road.

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.
