The applied force of your finger
The force of gravity acting on the coin
The normal force preventing the coin from going into the table
The force of friction opposing the motion of the coin
Is there some kind of diagram? how is your finger pushing the coin, and where? It may be: 1)friction against a surface 2)push from the finger 3)gravity 4)air resistance behind the coin
When pushing a coin, the four forces acting on it are the applied force from your finger, the force of gravity pulling it down, the normal force from the surface pushing it up, and the frictional force opposing its motion. These forces interact to determine the coin's motion. Understanding these forces helps explain how objects behave when forces are applied to them.
