Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pushing is the act of moving an object "forward" or towards the desired location.

Friction generally occurs when two surfaces (in this case, the ground and the object you are pushing) rub against each other. Gravity & the heaviness of the object will act as the counter to the force applied to push the object. Friction is the object trying to stay still, while pushing is trying to move the object.
