i get why theres deceleration as it goes up, but why is there no deceleration as it goes across the platform?

im nwe to physics btw

#

if theres no friction its not going to decelerate going over a flat surface no?

oh i see

#

yes theres no friction

#

so for motion maps do you still draw dots there to say theres no accleration/deceleration?

Im assuming the only force working here rn is Gravity
i.e downwards
So just think why the acceleration is there when going up, we know the only thing that can accelerate or decelerate u is Gravity
U'll get the answer urself why there is no force(acceleration) acting when moving horizontally

bro i guess on platform theres no friction and on the slope the component of mg along slope provides the decellaration
