Non-contact forces come into play when objects do not have physical contact between them or when a force is applied without any interaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some of the examples of non-contact forces are: Gravitational force. Magnetic force. Electrostatics.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnetic force is the force which can act on an object without making any contact with the objects. Example: Force exerted by a magnet on another magnet.

Detailed explanation-5: -A non-contact force is a force applied on an object by another body without being in direct contact with the object. Examples: Gravitational force. Electromagnetic force. Strong Nuclear force.
