A comet moving 248 km/minute traveling in a north-to-south direction passed near Mars in 2005. Because the meteor was only 30 m wide and was 30,200 km above Mars surface, it is not visible without the aid of a telescope. Which statement describes the comets motion

• Its acceleration was 4.13 km/s²

• Its speed was 248 km/s southward

• Its velocity was 4.13 km/s southward

• Its acceleration was 248 km/s²
