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 does slow down and slow up mean the same thing?

This question can only be answered with an example. So, say that you have a road, ok. To go up that road you have to go slow, and to go down that road you have to go slow. So, it's like saying slow down, and slow up.

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).

How do you make a can roll slowly down a ramp?

To make a can roll slowly down a ramp, you can adjust the angle of the ramp to make it less steep, which will reduce the speed at which the can rolls. Additionally, you can create friction between the can and the surface of the ramp by adding a material like sandpaper to slow down the can's movement. You can also place obstacles on the ramp to create resistance and slow down the can's progress.
