Teflon has a nonstick property because its surface is very smooth and has low friction. This is due to the strong chemical bonds between the carbon and fluorine atoms in Teflon, which repel other substances. This low friction property reduces the resistance between surfaces, making it difficult for anything to stick to Teflon.

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.


Friction doesnt convert energy it actually destroys?

Friction does not "destroy" energy, but rather it transforms some of the mechanical energy into heat energy due to the resistance between two surfaces in contact. This transformation of energy can lead to a loss of usable energy in a system.


What happens to the density of a substance if you change the amount or shape of that substance?

nothing happpens. changing the shape doesnt do anything and adding more doesnt do anything either. the density will change tho if you add another chemical or substanceansthe above comment is correct. Unless you applied a force that changed its overall volume of course, whilst changing its shape.


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.
