Can an automobile battery be recharged just by driving it a long distance?

Yes, if the alternator is functioning and you are not loading the charging circuit (using as much charge as the alternator is putting out so the battery receives nothing). Please note that "Idling" to charge the alternator normally does not work as the alternator is not turning fast enough to charge the battery, it only maintains the status quo for energy usage.

Does a car computer reset itself while driving after changing battery?

No, a pcm, bcm, or ecm will not reset itself while driving. On the otherhand it will do checks when you start the car to make sure everything is operating properly. If something is not it will light up the infamous check engine light.(pcm) There is nothing for it to reset when you replace the battery. It does not loose it's memory when the battery is disconnected anymore than a computer in your home looses it's memory when you unplug it from the wall outlet. Therefore there is nothing to reset.

Will a weak battery cause new serpentine belt to squeak?

No, the battery has nothing whatsoever to do with the belt other than the belt is driving the alternator which recharges the battery. The alternator is working hard to recharge a weak battery. If the belt is squealing then the belt is either worn out or it is loose. If it is loose it is because the tensioner is defective and not holding the proper tension.

What does it mean when raptor has no power and nothing turns on?

If a raptor has no power and nothing turns on, it typically indicates a complete failure in the electrical system. This could be due to a dead battery, a blown fuse, or issues with the wiring or ignition system. It’s essential to check the battery connections and fuses first, as these are common culprits. If those components are functioning, further diagnostics may be necessary to identify the underlying problem.
