push

A push is a force that moves an object away from something else. It is the opposite of a pull. When you push on an object, you are using your muscles to apply a force in the direction of the object. This force causes the object to move away from you.

Here are some examples of pushes:

• You push a door open.
• You push a cart down the aisle in the grocery store.
• You push a toy car across the floor.
• You push a person on a swing.
