Does a book sliding on a table violate newtons first law of motion?

No. If the book is sliding along the table, then there must be some external force being applied to the book to cause the movement. You pushed the book and created a force to move. And this is exactly what the first law is saying- a body at rest (net forces acting on book=0) remains at rest unless acted upon my some external force.


What is net external force?

The Net external forces is the result force of two objects acting upon it. So if like two forces act on a book. One force exerts downward on the book and the other force pushes the table back on the book with the same amount of push and pull. Since both forces are pushing on each other with the same amount of energy the resultant force or net external force will be in equilibrium or zero.
