the distance the asteroid is from Earth

the direction the asteroid is moving and its distance from Earth

If a car is moving backward along a road, can its speed be measured?

Yes, it can, because the car travels a distance in a certain amount of time.

Yes, it can, because the car does not have friction acting on it.

No, it cannot, because speed can only be measured if the car is moving forward.

No, it cannot, because the distance traveled backward by a car cannot be measured.

Which best explains why a bicycle slows down when its brakes are applied?

The brakes cause frictional forces on the wheels of the bicycle.

The brakes heat the rubber on the bicycle tires.

The brakes add energy to the bicycle.

The brakes increase the force of gravity on the bicycle.
