a) The action of the wind on parachute. b) The force exerted by a football player on the ball. state whether the forces are contact or action-at-a-distance force

OpenStudy (aroub):

IDk.. I'm sorry...

OpenStudy (aroub):

Don't worry thanks :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are both contact forces. Action-at-a-distance forces would be, for example, gravity or electrostatic repulsion (though in more advanced physics action-at-a-distance is usually a distasteful idea and is replaced by the idea of a field that acts locally everywhere in space).
