Short explanation

In the subtopic Contact and non-contact forces, this learning objective focuses on describe examples of force pairs acting between two interacting objects. For AQA GCSE Physics 8463 Unit 4.5 Forces, keep the explanation inside Contact and non-contact forces and Forces and their interactions. Approved keywords for this objective include force. A strong answer separates scalar and vector quantities, uses correct units where quantities are involved, and links the physical reasoning back to describe examples of force pairs acting between two interacting objects. This is not a generic revision point: it is specifically about Contact and non-contact forces, Forces and their interactions, and the approved wording of the learning objective.
