A meteor moving 468 km per minute traveling in a south-to-north direction passed near Earth in 2013. Because the meteor was only 45 m wide and was 27,700 km above Earth’s surface, it was not visible without the aid of a telescope. Which statement describes the meteor’s motion?

• Its velocity was 7.8 km/s northward.

• Its acceleration was 468 km/s².

• Its speed was 468 km/s northward.

• Its acceleration was 7.8 km/s².
