Non-contact forces
Field forces:
Non-contact forces acting over a distance.
Repulsion and attraction
Examples:
gravitational field and magnetic field.
Gravitational force:
Causes objects to fall towards Earth and prevents us from falling off the planet.
Exits between any two objects with mass.
Earth’s gravitational pull pulls everything downwards towards Earth’s center.
Stronger between objects due to greater mass and proximity.
