Question

With respect to non-contact forces, which of the following statements are correct?

• A. Only 1
• B. Only 2
• C. Only 4
• D. 3 and 4

Answer 1

The correct option is D

3 and 4

Non-contact forces can act in both the cases, i.e., when the bodies are in contact with each other and when they are not in contact with each other. If we look at the example of gravitational force, it acts on bodies resting on ground as well as on bodies flying in atmosphere.
