**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Non-Contact Forces**: Non-contact forces are forces that act on an object without the objects needing to be in physical contact with each other. 2. **Example of Electrostatic Force**: One example of a non-contact force is the electrostatic force. This force occurs between charged objects. For instance, a positive charge and a negative charge will attract each other, while two positive charges or two negative charges will repel each other. The key point is that these forces act at a distance without the charges touching. 3. **Example of Gravitational Force**: Another example of a non-contact force is the gravitational force. According to the law of universal gravitation, every object in the universe attracts every other object. For example, if we have two masses, m1 and m2, they exert an attractive gravitational force on each other, even though they are not in contact. ...
