say your already in uniform motion, if you push or pull against the direction of motion it will decelerate to zero , then accelerate in the opposite direction.

are push forces and pull forces equal?

Pushing and pulling forces are equivalent, as far as physics is concerned. The main differences that arise, have to do with the specific ways in which something is being pushed or pulled. If you want to pull on something by attaching a rope to it, you may need handles or U bolts or some kind of attachment hardware, although in theory you may just wrap the rope around the object in question. Pushing is often technically easier than pulling. And if you push something that is in front of you, the object that you are pushing may obstruct your vision of where you are going with it. Pulling something behind you gives you less visual obstruction. These are some of the minor details which may differ,
