Answer:
The total distance moved by the car is 80 metres
Explanation:
Given
North = 30 meters
South = 50 meters
Required
Determine the distance
Distance is a scalar quantity and hence, the total distance is the summation of distance moved in both directions
i.e.
[tex]Total\ Distance = North + South[/tex]
[tex]Total\ Distance = 30\ metres + 50\ metres[/tex]
[tex]Total\ Distance = 80\ metres[/tex]
Hence;
The total distance moved by the car is 80 metres
