Generally asteroids move more slowly because they are in relatively stable orbits. Meteors can come in at any velocity, depending on their source. Comets travel very rapidly when close to the Sun, but come almost to a standstill at the outermost point in their orbits.Meteors from "meteor showers" generally come from the decay of comets, and are traveling at cometary speeds. Recent radar measurements of recent meteor showers tracked the incoming meteors at 130,000 miles per hour.

Does an increase of 4 percent in the interest rate result in a 4 percent increase in the total interest paid?

Not usually. A "4 percent increase in the interest rate" usually means that there is some reference interest rate of x percent that is increased to 4 + x percent. This means that the interest paid increases from x percent of the principal to 4 + x percent of the principal. Therefore, the interest paid increases by 100 (4/x) %. For example, if a recent Federal funds rate of 1 % in the United States were to be increased by 4 %, the interest paid on any given amount of principal would increase by 400 %!
