Increase the normal force, or push down on it more (add more weight).
friction = μ normal force
μ is the coefficient of friction which is different for different surfaces

Would friction make an object faster?
No, friction is a force which always acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.
How does the force of friction for a sliding object vary with speed?
The friction can make you slow down , but if you lose friction you will go at a faster rate of speed
Friction is a force that can make work easier true or false?
false
How can the friction between two objects be decreased?
Make the force go faster.
How to reduce frictional force?
Lubricate the join between the two objects that are causing friction. If its friction with the air, make it more aerodynamic.
Can friction is a force that can make easier?
Friction definitely is a force that can make things easier. Stopping a car for example is made easier by friction.
Do tectonic plates make friction?
Friction itself is a naturally occurring force but yes, tectonic plates do encounter friction.

What force make your hands feel warm when you rub them quickly?
friction
What is a contact force that can make moving objects slow down?
It is friction.
Friction is a force that can make work easier true or false?
false
What 2 force try to make your car stop?
Friction from the road and the force of passing through the wind.
How can the friction between two objects be decreased?
Make the force go faster.
What is the force of friction?
There is no force opposite to friction. In fact, friction is not actually a force, although we treat it as if it were one, in order to make the math and physics easier. The concept of a force opposite to friction might be 'lubricity' ... the ability of two surfaces to slide past each other. The opposite force of friction depends on all the other forces applied to any moving object, since those determine the object's motion, and friction always acts in the direction exactly opposite to the object's motion.
A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistance?
Yes but make sure you are clear in your understanding between the coefficient of friction and the force of friction. The force of friction is the force that resists the motion of two surfaces moving against one another. The amount of friction is determined by the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal (perpendicular) force that is pressing the two surfaces together. The coefficient of friction is a unit-less constant, that indicates how two surfaces compare to two other surfaces that are being pressed together the same amount. If the normal force is the same on two pairs of surfaces the pair of surfaces with the lowest coefficient of friction will experience the lower force of friction.
