Answer 1

A mango falling from a mango tree.is an example of a non-contact force.

A force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it is known as a non-contact force. Non-contact forces come into play when objects do not have physical contact between them.

A force that is applied by objects in contact with each other is known as contact force. The contact force acts on a point of direct contact between the two objects.
