The situation that shows a non-contact force changing the speed of an object is: **A nail rolls off the edge of a roof and falls to the ground.**
In this situation, gravity (a non-contact force) is acting on the nail, causing it to accelerate as it falls. The other options involve contact forces, such as raking leaves, pedaling a bike, or hitting a baseball.
