when car stopped its total weight is applied downwards means in earth.so we apply some more energy to push it. when it is in motion its apply some external force along with the same direction. then we apply less energy to pull it.

thank you..,

we need a material(such as long ropes)to pull a car when it is stopped.when we apply force it creates tension in the rope due to which the car may or maynot move.so i think it is better to push a car than to pull a car when it is stopped,which needs a greater effort .thank you
