Question
unit exam-gravitational/electrostatic forces
what kind of force is involved in writing on paper?
contact force
field force
Brief Explanations
To determine the force involved in writing on paper, we analyze the interaction:
- A contact force requires physical contact between objects. When writing, the pen (or writing instrument) physically touches the paper.
- A field force (like gravitational or electrostatic) acts at a distance without direct contact. Since the pen and paper are in contact during writing, the force is a contact force.
