Option 3 : The rate at which the car is acceleration will only depend on acceleration due to gravity and angle of inclined.
CONCEPT:
Friction Force: It is a kind of resisting force that acts between two contact bodies to avoid relative motion between them.
- It is formed due to the close interaction of charged particles at the surface of the bodies due to electromagnetic forces.
- Mathematically it is represented as Friction force = μ N.
- Where N = normal force = m × g
- Normal force: It is a force that is exerted by the surface perpendicular to the body. It is a component of the contact force.

Explanation:
- From the given condition if a car was sliding down on an inclined frictionless plane, its Freebody diagram can be represented as given below

- In this, we can see that the rate at which car can acceleration freely will be directly proportional to sin component of acceleration due to gravity
i.e., a = g sin θ
- This means that the acceleration of the car will only depend on acceleration due to gravity and the angle of inclination of the given plane.
Here,
a = acceleration of the car
g = acceleration due to gravity
θ = angle of inclination
