A centripetal force is a contact force that acts on an object moving in a circular path, drawing it toward the center of the circle. It is necessary to keep an object in circular motion and is provided by physical contact with another object or surface.

What are contact and and non contact forces?

A non-contact force is any force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it. The most common example of a non-contact force is gravity. A non-contact force is different from a contact force, which is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it. However it is to be noted that the origin of all contact forces can be traced to non-contact forcesIn physics, a contact force is a force between two objects (or an object and a surface) that are in contact with each other. This is distinct from a non-contact force, or action-at-a-distance force (a force that acts over a distance), such as gravity or magnetic attraction/repulsion.


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.
