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
