  • πŸ’ͺ Push: A force that moves something away from you. Think of pushing a shopping cart or kicking a ball.
  • πŸš— Pull: A force that moves something closer to you. Examples include pulling a wagon or opening a door.
  • 🎒 Forces: Pushes and pulls are both types of forces. Forces can make things move, stop moving, or change direction.
