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 case, gravity (a non-contact force) is acting on the nail, causing it to accelerate and change its speed as it falls. The other options involve contact forces (like hitting, raking, or pedaling) that change the speed of the objects involved.
