All materials have a property called the coeffecient of kinetic friction. When this property is high, a higher friction force resists the motion of objects across the surface.

Sandpaper has a higher coefficient of kinetic friction as compared to something like ice. This is because ice is smooth whereas the surface of sandpaper is very rough which increases the friction it causes.

Why do 'slow down' and 'slow up' mean the same thing?

We speak a ridiculous language don't we? However slow up is not correct English. I think we use it because it is easier to say than slow down (especially when it's urgent).
