Question

Tyler drives 50km north. Tyler then drives back 30km south. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

80 km is distance and 30km north is displacement

Explanation:

distance= 50+30=80km

displacement= 50-20=30

his displacement is 30km north

Hope it helps..

Answer 2

Given:

Distance traveled in the North direction = 50 km

Distance traveled in the South direction = 30 km

To find:

The distance and displacement of Tyler.

Solution:

To find the distance traveled by Tyler, we will just have to add up the distance covered by him in both the directions. Thus, the distance covered by him will be as follows:

= 50 + 30 km

= 80 km

And, the displacement covered by him will be the difference between his final and initial position. Thus, his displacement will be as follows:

= 50 - 30 km

= 20 km

Thus, the distance covered will be 80 km and his displacement will be 20 km.
