Gravity is the force that pulls you down.
(This is kind of a duh! question ... How do we know
which way is "down" ? We feel gravity, and we call
that the "down" direction.)
Magnetic force holds things to fridge doors.
Contact forces need to touch something in order to
exert their force.
Example: Gravity is NOT a contact force.
I don't know about "rubbing things away".
This might be a description of friction, but if so,
it's not a good one.
Buoyant force is what keeps floating things floating.
Air resistance slows things down when they move in air.
