Sliding friction causes a book to slow down and stop when pushed.

Might also be known as dynamic friction.

What is Friction Force?
YES, YEA it is Yes it is a force. If not then we would be slipping around. What i have heard is that friction causes a pull in some ways. Say you slid a pencil on the floor with nothing in it's path. Now if you know what inetia (not a force) then you would know that the pencil would stop because of a outside force. And that force is friction. Friction had reduced the pencils speed when it rubbed together on the floor. Now if the pencil was givin more force when you pushed it and the floor was more slik then the pencil would have traveled alot more. This is because the force of friction is a less amount when one surface is smoother. I know this is a horrible explanation but this is what helps me think of the forces. And this is going to prove to my teacher that friction is a force and that inertia is not.
How would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force?
The book slides with constant velocity.
What type of friction do you have to overcome to make a book move across a desk?
Static friction
What is the definition of stationary friction?
Look for a Book Fool. >.<
Which force slows a book sliding on a table?
Friction.
If a book is pushed by 10N and the friction is 8N what is the resultant force?
In fact, there is an infinite number of answers because force is a vector, meaning that it has a magnitude and an orientation. For example, if someone pushes horizontaly onto the book (10N) and the friction is 8N in the opposite direction, the resultant force is 2N. But if the book is pushed at an angle, the resultant force changes.

Is it possible for a book moving at a constant speed to have a change in velocity?
Yes, if an unbalanced force acts on the book, such as friction, which will slow the book down and eventually cause it to stop.

The book slides with constant velocity.
The force of friction is directed opposite of the way an object is moving because?
The force of friction is NOT ALWAYS directed opposite the direction an object is moving. Consider, for example, an object (like a book) resting on a piece of paper on a table. If you gently pull the paper and the book moves with the paper, friction between the paper and the book is causing the book to move in the same direction as the paper. Even if you pull a bit faster and the book slides in the same direction as the paper motion, but a little bit slower, the friction is the force which is pulling the book along--in the same direction of the paper motion.The direction friction is acting is opposite the direction of the relative SLIDING or attempted sliding of surfaces. In the cases above, without friction, the book would slide opposite the direction of paper motion, so the friction is in the same direction, accelerating the book along with the paper. In the first case, the book's acceleration is the same as the paper's; in the second, the book's acceleration is less than the paper's causing the book to actually slide backwards relative to the paper's motion.
What type of friction do you have to overcome to make a book move across a desk?
Static friction
When you push a book why does it stop?
When you push a book, it stops because of the force you are applying to it. The friction between the book and the surface it is resting on counteracts the force you are applying, bringing the book to a stop.
Is sliding friction the force that slows a book sliding on a table?
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.
The friction between a book at rest and the desk it is lying on is an example of what?
This is the example of Newton third law and law of inertia.
What type of friction holds a penny on surface of book when lift cover?
static friction, friction between two non-moving objects.

What genre is the book bridge to teribithia?
