    TRUE. The weight component is responsible for acceleration and therefore the increase in vehicle speed,

    Explanation:

    Let's write Newton's second law for the car down a slope

    Y Axis

    N-Wy = 0

    N = Wy

    X axis

    Wx - fr = m a

    Using trigonometry

    sin θ = Wx / W

    cos θ = Wy / W

    Wx = W sin θ

    Wy = W cos θ

    We replace

    W sin θ - fr = m a

    The weight component is responsible for acceleration and therefore the increase in vehicle speed,

    fr is the force of car brakes

    Consequently, of the above TRUTH
