Air resistance is a contact force because you are in contact with the air in order to apply that force.

Is air resistance a cotact force or a non contact force?

Air resistance is a type of contact force that acts on an object as it moves through the air. It is caused by the friction between the object and the air molecules surrounding it.


Is water resistance a contact or non contact force?

Contact.


Is air restiance a contact force?

No, air resistance is a non-contact force that opposes the motion of an object moving through the air. It is a type of frictional force that occurs between the object and the air particles it displaces.


Is water resistance a contact force or a non-contact force?

Contact.


What is a contact force magnetic force gravity or air resistance or electrical force?

Gravity is a non-contact force that acts at a distance between two objects with mass. Contact forces, such as friction and normal force, require physical contact between objects. Magnetic force, electrical force, and air resistance also act without physical contact between objects.


Is drag a contact force or a non contact force?

Drag (or air resistance) is a contact force because in the air there is loads of tiny air particles which collides with an object when passing through,slowing it down until it eventually stops and that makes it a contact force. Crystal


Is water resistance contact or non-contact force?

water resistance is contact force.


What is contact force and non contact force?

Contact force is a force that occurs when two objects are physically touching each other. Examples include friction, air resistance, and tension in a rope. Non-contact force, on the other hand, is a force that can affect objects without direct physical contact, such as gravitational force, electromagnetic force, and nuclear force.


Is upthrust force a non contact force?

No, upthrust would not be considered a non-contact force. It would be considered a contact force. It is making contact with an updraft of air.


Is wind resistance an example of a contact force?

No, wind resistance is an example of a non-contact force, as it acts on an object without physical contact. Contact forces, on the other hand, require direct contact between objects for the force to be applied.
