  • Non-Contact Forces: Gravity & Electromagnetism Explained
    The two forces that can act on an object without touching it are:

    1. Gravity: This is the force of attraction between any two objects with mass. The Earth's gravity pulls on objects near its surface, causing them to fall towards the ground.

    2. Electromagnetism: This force governs the interactions between electrically charged particles. It can manifest in several ways, including:

    * Magnetic Force: Magnets exert a force on each other, even when they are not touching. This is also how electric motors and generators work.

    * Electric Force: Charged objects exert forces on each other, even when they are not touching. This is how static electricity works.

    Let me know if you want to delve deeper into any of these forces!
