Question

A car travels 20 Km north. It then turns around and travels 30 Km south. what is the resultant displacement and distance covered by the car ?

Answer 1

the answer is 10. 30-20= 10 and they’re going backwards so there’s more land the care is going over because they went 10 more kilometers south

Answer 2

The distance is 50km and the displacement is 10km south

Step-by-step explanation:

For the distance, you just have to add and for the displacement, it's saying how far are you from your starting point. If you go forward 20 ad backwards 30, your result is -10 but distance can't be negative so it's 10
