If a particle feels a force from the left, which direction does

I'm serious, yo. Does this even make sense?

If I press down on an object on the ground, how come it doesn't accelerate?

When I press my gas pedal, in which direction does it want to accelerate?

But I mean, if I feel a force from the left, does that mean the source of the force is to my left? Or does that mean my force is point to left?

If I have charge -q and there's a -q to my left, do I feel a force from my left? Even though that force points right?

See what I'm saying, yo?

It feels sad and it wants to go home. Send it home. Yes this doesn't make sense

lmao, thank you. I appreciate it

Towards communism obviously.

It is relative. It can be viewed as a push or a pull, the train is moving or the ground is moving.

This may or may not apply as the same case here. It can still accelerate because reaction forces may act on different objects.

Too vague. Things will accelerate in the same direction of the net force, so it depends on what all is going on. If you can simply apply a single force to a particle, say, from the left, then it will accelerate to the right.

Particles cannot feel

Check and mate

A force is just the gradient of a potential. Which direction is the potential sloping?

If the higher potential is to the left, the particle will move right.
