What is contact force and non-contact force?
Contact force
The force produced between two bodies in contact is called contact force. For example, in cricket, if the batsmen hit the ball with force the ball moves. Here the force occurs because of the contact between the ball and the bat.
Non-contact force
If a force is produced between two bodies that are not in contact then that force is called non-contact forces. For example, the force exerted by the earth on a ball present far away from it(above).
