Question

Give two examples each of situations in which you push or pull to change the state of motion of objects.

Answer 1

Two examples of push force are as follows:

(i) A heavy box at rest is pushed to move it from one room to another. This changes the state of motion of the box.

(ii) A player pushes a football using his foot. This changes the state of motion of the ball.

Two examples of pull force are as follows:

(i) Rope is pulled to draw water from a well. This changes the state of motion of the water bucket.

(ii) A drawer is pulled to open it. This changes the state of motion of the drawer.
