What are the two factors that friction doesn't depend upon?

OpenStudy (youngster):

The velocity, acceleration, and the force being applied on/ of the object. Those are three.

The mass of the object and the roughness of the surface(the friction coefficent). It also depends on the gravity, but that is a constant in most cases.
