to use force to move something away from you
a determined shopper places both hands flat against a heavy glass door and leans forward with effort. Her body position shows she is applying force to move the door outward from her position. The door begins to swing open as she continues applying pressure with her arms extended. The resistance of the heavy door requires her to use significant strength to overcome it. Other shoppers wait behind her, watching as she works to open the entrance for everyone. A small child nearby observes how much effort it takes to move the heavy barrier. using force to move something away from you
