Question

is gravity a contact force or a Non contact force

Answer 1

Gravity is classified as a non-contact force. This means that it can act on objects that are not in physical contact with each other. Gravity pulls objects toward each other based on their mass, as seen with the attraction between the Earth and the Moon, or an apple falling to the ground. Unlike contact forces, which require direct interaction (like friction or tension), gravitational force operates over a distance.
