To amplify means to intensify or increase something. Friction is a type of force.

Consider using a rolling object. The more the speed of the object increases so does the friction. The friction attempts to slow down the object because of gravity, thus increasing frictional force.

A rough surface beneath a rolling object as opposed to a smooth surface can also do the same due to air pockets in holes in the surface.
