Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\underline{\mathcal{\red{A}\green{N}\pink{S}\orange{W}\blue{E}\pink{R}}}}$

● It is due to friction, a form of skin friction between surface of book and surface of table. When you push a book on a table, you are inducing a force(external) to the book, which acts a kinetic energy to the book, so the book moves or slides to some distance.
