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.

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).


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.


When the force of gravity on an object changes?

The force of gravity (or any force) obey's Newton's Second Law of motion: the force applied to a body is equal to the time derivative of it's momentum. In cases where the mass is constant (practically all of introductory physics and much of graduate-level physics), force is equal to mass times acceleration. (F = ma)


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

What is pull or push of a magnet is strongest?

The pull of a magnet is usually stronger than its push. This is because the magnetic force is generated by the alignment of magnetized atoms within the material, resulting in a stronger attraction (pull) between magnets compared to the repulsion (push) force.


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


What is stronger a slab push or slab pull?

In the context of plate tectonics, slab pull is generally considered stronger than slab push. Slab pull is the force exerted on a subducting plate by its own weight as it sinks into the mantle, pulling the rest of the plate along with it. Slab push, on the other hand, is the force exerted by the upwelling mantle pushing the plate from below. While both forces play a role in plate motion, slab pull is typically considered the dominant force driving the movement of tectonic plates.


Is push when forces are in the same direction?

Yes, when forces are in the same direction, they can add together to create a push force that is stronger than each force individually. This is known as a "push" 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.


Does the moon have stronger gravitational force than the earth?

No the Earth would pull u more than the moon


Is push and pull motion or friction?

Push and pull are types of motion rather than forms of friction. Friction is the resistance encountered when two objects move against each other. Push involves applying force to move an object away, while pull involves applying force to move an object towards oneself.


Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon because Earth has more?

mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


Does a magnets pull force match its push force?

Yes. I used a wheel and placed magnets all around it, then I spun the wheel and placed another magnet in front of the wheel and thought that the wheel would keep spinning due to the magnets repelling each other but it didn't work.


Is the moons gravitationalpull stronger or weaker than the earth?

The Moon's gravitational pull is weaker than Earth's gravitational pull. The force of gravity depends on the mass of the objects involved, so Earth, being more massive than the Moon, exerts a stronger gravitational 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.
