a) depends on how fast it was going when the brakes were lifted

b) depends on if going up or down a hill

c) depend on if gearshift is in neutral or drive.

Impossible to say with the information provided.

@elbanditoroso From a stopped car. On a flat road. In drive.

Given your conditions, I’d guess 0 mph, but some cars may start moving and get up to 1 mph.
