Increasing the weight of the object and the smoothness of the surface the object is on (the less smooth the more friction)
We can increase friction by making the surfaces of the object rough. We can also increase friction by pressing the two objects more strongly.
The coefficiant of friction between the two surfaces and the normal reaction force of the object lying on the surface
speed and potential energy
When you rub two things together, the friction between the two things will produce heat.
The strength of the force of friction depends on two factors: the types of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together.

Rougher surface and more weight to the object increases friction
Reduce friction or increase slope.
Turning wheels against surfaces would require some amount of friction.
The coefficiant of friction between the two surfaces and the normal reaction force of the object lying on the surface
Friction between two objects depends on the static coefficient of friction (if the object is currently not moving) and the normal force from the surface, acting in the direction opposite the direction of gravity.
Friction between two objects = C X N. where C is the coeffiecient of friction for the objects in question, and N is the 'Normal' force. The normal force is the force equal and opposite to the object's weight. Therefore, if you increase the object's weight, the friction force increases, and the amount of energy wasted increases.
speed and potential energy
Because Ffric = Normal force * coefficient of friction, and Fnormal = mass*9.81m/s^2, the coefficient of friction for those 2 objects, which represents the relationship between their touching surfaces, and the objects masses, are the two things that determine frictional force. As you probably can tell, the higher a coefficient of friction, the harder it is to move an object. Higher masses also increase the difficulty of moving an object because it results in a higher frictional force.
