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

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

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

• 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.
