Explain how an object can move without another object having contact with it. Make sure to provide an example in your answer.
* Complete sentence for full points!
An object can move without another object having contact with it because of magnetism. An example is a magnet pushing an object away from another object or pulling an object closer to another object.
An object can move without another object having contact with it because of gravity. For example, when you jump and gravity pulls you back down.
