10-N directed towards your finger.
The force of friction would also be 1 N, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force you are pushing with. This equal and opposite force of friction is what allows the book to move at a constant velocity.
The net force on the book is calculated by subtracting the force of friction from the force applied by the student. In this case, the net force is 2 N (6 N - 4 N).
The force that slows down a book sliding on a table is mainly friction. As the book moves across the table, the friction between the book and the table surface opposes the motion, causing the book to slow down until it eventually stops.
Friction is a phenomenon which acts to resist an applied force, both 'pushing' and 'pulling'. It is a force in itself, and may be considered the opposite of slippery. It will change the path of a body in motion.
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.
It depends. Two surfaces which are pressed together will show a frictional force resisting any sliding. If they are pressed together by gravity (e.g. such as for a book lying on a table), then the frictional force resisting a horizontal push will depend on the weight of the book, which depends on the force of gravity.
The force of friction would also be 1 N, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force you are pushing with. This equal and opposite force of friction is what allows the book to move at a constant velocity.
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.

Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.

static friction, friction between two non-moving objects.

If the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force, the book would move at a constant velocity since the two forces would be balanced. This means there would be no acceleration or deceleration, and the book's velocity would remain unchanged as long as the forces stayed in equilibrium.
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.
An example of force and motion is when you push a book across a table. Your hand exerts a force on the book, causing it to move. The book will continue to move until another force, like friction, acts on it to stop its motion.
