Question

can we consider applying force as motion?

Solution

No. Thre are forces even there is no motion . Example, When we push a wall there we are applying force on wall , but there is no movement of the wall, ie no motion.

When we think of motion we often think of cars, bicycles, kids running, basketballs bouncing and airplanes flying. But motion is so much more. Motion is important to our lives and impacts so many things that we do. Motion is the changing of position or location. But motion requires a force to cause that change.

Force is just a fancy word for pushing or pulling. If I push on something or pull on it, then I am applying a force to it. Force makes things move or, more accurately, makes things change their motion.
