How do contact forces such as friction differ from gravitational and magnetic forces?

Physics

Sloan [31]3 years ago

"Contact" means "touching".  A contact force can't act on an object unless
they're touching. Friction is a contact force.

Gravitational forces pull masses together even if they're not touching.
Magnetic forces pull a piece of iron toward a magnet even if they're not touching.

Gravitational and magnetic forces are "non-contact" forces.

You push a coin across a table. The coin stops. How does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces?
Snezhnost [94]
If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.
