Question
Friction is a force between two objects (or an object and a surface) that is in contact with one another.
Gravity is an attractive force between any two objects and causes objects to accelerate downward, towards the center of the Earth.
A magnetic force is experienced by any magnetic material in a magnetic field. It is an attractive and repulsive force (push and pull)
An object that is being stretched experiences tension.
An object at rest on a surface experiences static friction.
Two objects sliding past each other experience kinetic friction.
An object moving through the air experiences air resistance, which is a type of friction that slows falling objects.
A non-contact force is a force that can act between two objects that are not physically touching each other.
The attractive and repulsive force (push and pull) between charged particles of matter is an electrostatic force.
A contact force is a force that is exerted on an object by a person or another object.
Are all these true

Yes, all the statements you provided about different forces are generally true. Here’s a brief confirmation of each point:
1. **Friction**: Correctly defined as a force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.
2. **Gravity**: Accurate description of gravitational force as an attractive force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth (or any other massive body).
3. **Magnetic Force**: Correctly explained as a force experienced by magnetic materials within a magnetic field; it can be attractive or repulsive.
4. **Tension**: Correctly identified as the force experienced by a stretched object, such as a rope or cable.
5. **Static Friction**: Correctly defined as the frictional force that prevents an object from starting to move when at rest on a surface.
6. **Kinetic Friction**: Correctly described as the frictional force acting between two objects sliding past each other.
7. **Air Resistance**: Accurately defined as a type of friction that opposes the motion of an object moving through air, commonly referred to as drag.
8. **Non-contact Force**: Correctly defined as a force that can act at a distance without direct physical contact between objects.
9. **Electrostatic Force**: Correctly described as the attractive or repulsive force between charged particles, which is an essential aspect of electromagnetism.
10. **Contact Force**: Correctly described as a force exerted through physical contact between objects or by a person.
Overall, your definitions are well-stated and aligned with fundamental physics concepts.
