I naively expect: the higher the kinetic energy of the object more of it will go to the surface heating it up and acting as drag. After all it happens in the air where there are a lot less molecules, and cars have a limit in velocity | |

The OP asks about pushing something across a table. In the standard model of this type of friction, the friction is independent of velocity. | |
