Can I have help with this please- thank you!!!

A child is pulling a toy train along the floor by pulling a piece of string state one contact force and one non contact force that acts on the toy

Answer :

Answer:

I would say there is friction against the floor, air resistance, and gravity.

Explanation:

The contact force acting on the toy is the frictional force, and the non-contact force acting on the toy is the gravitational force.

Forces acting on the toy:

According to the question, a toy train is being pulled by a string along the floor.

The gravitational force acting on the toy train is the weight of the toy train, which is a non-contact force given by:

F  = mg

where m is the mass of the toy, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Now, the floor will exert a normal force against the toy, equal to the weight of the toy. Let the normal force be N.

Since the toy is in contact with the floor, there is a frictional force acting against the motion of the toy trains, which is a contact force and is given by:

f  = μN = μmg

where μ is the coefficient of friction between the toy and the floor.
