Explanation:
Push and pull both are forces , but the difference is in their direction at which it is applied . If the force applied in the direction of motion of the particle then we call it as push .
If that force applied in the direction OPPOSITE to the motion of particle then it is termed as pull.
Consider a example , a particle is moving along positive x-direction .
case 1:
If the force is also applied in the positive x-direction on the particle then we are pushing the particle
case 2:
If the force is applied in the negative x-direction i.e, opposite to the motion of particle then we are pulling the particle
