Depends on the person and configuration. In general, you can push more than you can pull, because to pull you are limited to some proportion of your body weight, whereas when pushing you can use the pushed mass to increase your traction.

∙ 15y agowhen you push something your weight is behind it so you make less effort, when you pull something your much weaker back muscles cant take nearly the amount of stress also. if you pull with your weight then you will get almost the same force as pushing something (because if you lean back and nearly fall then you are also using your full body weight the same way as when you push something.

∙ 13y agoFalse: Take Earth we have an inward PULL! We don't push! It is easier to pull than to push. I have known always that this was correct. I may be wrong but I am pretty sure that I am right. When you pull the mass may be greater but it is an easier task.

∙ 14y agoDepends on the1) centre of gravity of the body ,2)direction of action of force and 2)the point of action of the force on the body;the effect of push and pull changes.Imagine a lawn roller which is pushed.As we push it ,a force which is along the direction of the handle is applied on it.This can create a horizontal component which assist its forward motion and a downward component which increases the normal reaction and thereby enhances the friction which opposes motion.
yea... real esay
But as we pull it, the direction of the vertical component will be in upward direction and can reduce the normal reaction which in turn reduces the friction and requires less effort to make it move.
This is a general view .As we study more we can see the difference in result according to the three parameters which has been discussed above.

What are unbalanced forces and what happens if forces are unbalanced?
Balanced forces will either push or pull against each other with equal force and no net movement will result. If forces are unbalanced, that means that one will push or pull harder than the other and movement will result.
Is more force is usually required to pull an object than to lift it?
Heavier (more massive) objects require more force to move than lighter objects. The formula is F = ma (force is equal to mass times acceleration). The same force applied to a more massive object will provide less acceleration (motion).
Is a diamond stronger than steel?
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
You push harder and harder on a box until it begins sliding across the floor. Which was the stronger of the forces acting on the box static friction or sliding friction?
Hey! I'm an 8th grade student, but I know the answer! Static friction is the stronger force. When you push on the box, the static friction increases to match your force when you push the box. However, when you go above the limit on the static friction of the box, sliding friction happens. Sliding friction is less than the static friction because it doesn't match your force or else static friction would come into play again. Hope this helps because I'm doing a report on this now!Use round objects, like metal pipes, to roll the washer across the floor. B. Put a lubricant between the surface of the floor and the washing machine.
What are some facts about gravity?
Gravity is a force on earth that pull everything down. On the moon there is less gravity than on the earth
Is magnetic push stronger than pull?
I have always known that the pull force is greater! Its as if Earth's gravity it pulls inward it can't push out. Therefore the pull is a greater force, and I may be corrected if I am wrong. I have always known the pull is the greater force
Does the moons gravitational force stronger than earths gravitational force?
No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
Does blackholes have a pull?
Yes. It's gravity stronger than any force in the universe.
What do you need in order to have a Force greater than zero acting on an object?
Push it, or pull it. You may have to push hard enough to overcome a force of friction.
Does the moon have stronger gravitational force than the earth?
No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon because Earth has more?
gravitaional pull
What is it called when one force is larger than its opposite force?
A force is a push or pull that either makes the object speeds up, slow down, change direction etc.
Why it is that gravity doesnot push a bird or an aeroplane back to earth?
It sure tries to, but the bird and the aeroplane can sort of brace themselves against the air hard enough to generate a lifting force that's stronger than the pull of gravity and remain airborne.
How do you open mickey's really creamy cocoa can?
you put full force on the top of the lid where it says pry and than you push down and pull:)
Does Uranus have a stronger gravitational pull than earth?
No, it does not.
Why is it easier to pull than to push?
Whether it's easier to pull than to push depends on the circumstances, there is no universal principle here. If you're using the pulley suspended above you can add your weight to your arms force and thus amplify your effort(pushing a rope doesn't produce any result of course). If you were to move a heavy stone block it might be easier to push it, if there's no grip possible to pull.
Is a light saber stronger than the force?
NO!
