Check your wheel bearings. Dry wheel bearings can squeak but should also make a grinding noise at higher speeds. A loose wheel bearing can cause the brake rotor to be at an angle which rubs against the brake pad or wear indicator causing a squeak noise. These are a couple common causes. Find a safe area, raise the car and support it with jack stands. Rotate the squeaking tire and see if you can tell what is making the noise.

Bad wheel bearing if you are referring to a grinding noise. A squeak can be many things. Loose power steering belt for one.

When a airplane is traveling forward at 120 miles per hour and a bowling ball is dropped from the plane which way would the ball travel?

It would move slightly backwards due to no air resistance------------------------------------------------------- The above answer is rubbish. It would continue travelling forward. Whilst travelling forward it would also travel down. It would continue to travel forward until it slowed down to a zero forward speed ( DUE to air resistance ) but a terminal downward speed. Whether or not it would reach a zero forward speed and terminal downward speed would depend on how high it was when it was dropped.

How does the size and shape of wheels affect the speed of a mousetrap powered toy car?

Small wheels would spin quicker and be more likely to slip, a larger diameter wheel would move slower and grip the surface better so all rotational movement of the wheel would be translated to forward motion - albeit at a slower speed. The energy input is fixed (the spring) the energy that you could lose is - wind resistance, friction in gears etc, and slippage (producing additional friction/heat)
