- Q4What is a characteristic of noncontact forces?They can act at a distance without physical touchThey can only be felt when touchingThey require contact between objectsThey only act in one direction30s
- Q5Which of the following forces is considered a contact force?Gravitational forceElectrostatic forceMagnetic forceFrictional force30s
- Q6Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a noncontact force?It is affected by the mass of objectsIt can act over a distanceIt requires objects to touch each otherIt can cause objects to move30s
- Q7What is the main difference between contact and noncontact forces?Contact forces act at a distance, while noncontact forces require touchContact forces can only be weak, while noncontact forces are strongThere is no difference between contact and noncontact forcesContact forces require physical touch, while noncontact forces do not30s
