Get the velocity of the platform and add it to the ball's current velocity...

You can't rely only on the physics to do the work as it won't work...

If you put a ball on a moving platform in real life, the ball will roll the opposite direction of the moving platform....

Hey thanks for info tried to do what you say but my platform in moving without velocity because i use animation to move platform. So i tried making a platform that moves with AddForce but then if i add that force to the ball it just flies off way to fast. But i found this that help my https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6wlIqe2lTA .

There is no need of an object to be rigidBody in order to measure velocity. You can do it with few lines of code:

 // Private Variables
 private float oldPos;
 private float newPos;

 private void FixedUpdate()
 {
     newPos = transform.position.x;
     velocity = (newPos - oldPos) / Time.deltaTime;
     oldPos = transform.position.x;
 }
