Cause and causation in motion context is when physical force causes motion. The classic example of this is when one billiard ball hits another and causes it to move.


Example:

Jeg dyttet skapet bortover.
“I pushed the closet”
Jeg

N

One interpret this as "I caused the closet to move by pushing it"
