Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is an example of a contact force?

Back

Friction is an example of a contact force, as it occurs between two touching surfaces.

Front

What is an example of a non-contact force?

Back

Gravity is an example of a non-contact force, as it acts at a distance.
