What is a non-contact force?

Back

A non-contact force is a force that acts on an object without physical contact, such as gravitational force, magnetic force, and electrostatic force.

What happens to an object in uniform circular motion when the centripetal force is removed?

Back

When the centripetal force is removed, the object will move in a straight line tangent to the circular path at the point where the force was removed.
