A spring can be both a potential or a kinetic force. When pulled it contains potential force. When it forces an object upwards it contains kinetic energy. The same as if it forces an object to come down i.e return to its natural position. A spring is often referred to as a Helix.

Is force a push or a pull?
A push or a pull is a force
Is there a difference in the spring force when the spring is compressed instead of stretched?
When a coil spring is compressed the spring compression tends to vary inversely with the length of the spring to the point where the spring cannot be compressed further without damage. In tension, the spring tension varies directly with the length but only so long as the elastic modulus is not reached. At that length, the spring becomes permanently deformed or "sprung". Depending on the representation of the drawing, the vector of the spring in compression will be opposite that of the same spring in tension. That is to say, if you push the spring to the left the force will be negative while a pull to the right will be positive so the spring in compression will push right (positive) and the spring in tension will pull left (negative).
Is air pressure a push or pull force?
Yes resistance would be a push force.
What is push or pull that makes an object move or puts it into motion?
A push or pull that acts on an object is a force.

What is an example of a force?
Pull or push is an example of force

Yes resistance would be a push force.
What are spring forces?
The energy stored in a spring when it is compressed or expanded. See related link.
What a push or pull?
pull
What is pull or push?
Force applied towards you (pull) or force applied towards the object (push)
What is push or pull that makes an object move or puts it into motion?
A push or pull that acts on an object is a force.
How is the force of gravity different from theforce when push or pull?

Does a push or pull best represent force?
Both represent force. The definition itself says this - " A force is a push or a pull "
