Answer

Objects accelerate when moving down slopes due to gravity and potential energy converting to kinetic energy, while decelerating when moving up slopes as kinetic energy converts to potential energy against the force of gravity and friction.

Answer:

It is obvious that when a object moves up it slows down and when its
moves down it gets fast this is because of gravity. Objects moving down will
accelerate (go faster) while the object moving upwards will have deceleration.
This is because moving up slope or down slope changes one kind of energy to
other objects that are at bottom have more kinetic enery while when they move
up its changed into potential energy and when moving down the slope potential
energy is converted to kinetic energy. The factor that friction is also opposing the
acceleration is that when object moves up the force of friction is more because
gravity is also acting against the direction of object while moving down gravity is
acting in direction of object hence the acceleration is more while moving down.
