Sliding friction (aka dry kinetic friction) between 2 surfaces, is caused due to chemical bonding between the surfaces.

Friction can stop many things that are in motion. When there is more mass on an object, then there will be more friction.

Friction between joints or mechanisms is stopped by the application of a lubricating agent, such as machine oil in a gear mechanism. This allows for smooth operation of the meshing parts.

lubrication will reduce it, as will smoothing the surfaces that will touch.
