If the force applied to an object doesnt make the object move then no friction has been done is this true?

No, it is not true. Friction can still occur even if the object does not move. The force applied may overcome static friction but not cause the object to move due to other factors like weight or surface roughness.


When you push on a stationary object and it doesnt move what kind of force is most likely opposing your efforts?

Friction is the force most likely opposing your efforts when you push on a stationary object and it doesn't move. Friction exists between surfaces in contact and resists the motion of objects.


When is and isn't friction useful?

fricton is useful in the cases of deacceleration or tending the body to be at the rest.eg: braking car,trekking,air friction in ski jumping,eraser for rubbing etc. However friction usefulness doesn't hold true in car engines,because it doesnt need fiction so we use oils to reduce it.


Why does friction and gravity act on a soccer ball?

That question doesnt exactly make sense, but if you meant HOW does friction and gravity AFFECT a soccer ball, the friction of the grass and ball affects the speed, and the gravity pushes the ball down to the ground. Hope it helped! -Cara


How can a zamboni drive on ice if there is no friction?

A Zamboni drives on ice by utilizing a surface contact pressure to melt a thin layer of ice, creating a thin film of water beneath its blades. This film of water acts as a lubricant, reducing friction and allowing the Zamboni to glide smoothly over the ice.

What would a game of soccer be like with friction?

Friction is essential for Walking and other movement. So obviously it is of paramount importance in football. Without friction, A player can't grip the ball, the ground pr other players. Running, which is the base of football, doesnt exist without friction. Hence, no friction = no football.
