how can both contact and non contact forces act when an apple falls down from the tree to the earth????

it cannot be called contact force because the apple is not in contact with  anything, as we know forces that act on bodies only when they are in contact with a body r called contact forces and when an apple falls down from a tree to earth because of gravitational force, which is a non contact force

 It is due 2 gravitational force. Whn we shake the branch, then it comes in motion while apple is in rest due 2 intertia of rest. Thus apple fall due 2 gravity. Therefore both contact and non contact forces were acted.
