Answer:

The car will most likely move the fastest on the wood. Carpet will create drag due to the friction between the car's wheels and the carpet. Bricks are not smooth so drag will occur, however it will be minimal. Wood is usually smooth and there is almost no drag or friction...the car will glide easily over the surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!!
