The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term used to describe a push or pull on an object. 2. **Identifying the Actions**: In physics, when we talk about moving an object, we can either pull it towards us or push it away from us. 3. **Defining the Terms**: - **Pull**: This is when we apply a force to draw an object closer to ourselves. - **Push**: This is when we apply a force to move an object away from ourselves. 4. **Combining the Concepts**: Both pulling and pushing are actions that involve applying a force to an object. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the term used to describe a push or pull on an object is called **force**. **Final Answer**: In physics, a push or pull on an object is known as **force**. ---
