Respuesta :

A. applied force is a contact force

Answer:

A: Applied force

Explanation:

The rest of them are non-contact forces.

A contact force is any kind of force that requires contact to occur.

So:

Applied force is a contact force because they occur ONLY during contact with each other.

Gravitational force is not a contact force because they occur even when they're not in contact with each other.

Electrical force is not a contact force because they also occur even when they aren't in contact with each other.

Magnetic force is not a contact force because they pull/push on objects without touching them.
