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

When Tyler drives 50 km north and then drives back 30 km south, we have:

1. The distance that he covers is 80 km.

2. Tylor's displacement is 20 km.  

1. The distance is a scalar that is given by the sum of the kilometers traveled by Tyler as follows:

Hence, the distance traveled by Tyler was 80 km.

2. The displacement is a vector that depends on the direction of travel. Takin the north direction as positive we have:

Therefore, Tyler's displacement is 20 km.

I hope it helps you!            

80 km is distance and 30km north is displacement

Explanation:

distance= 50+30=80km

displacement= 50-20=30

his displacement is 30km north

current and voltage can both be different in different parts of a circuit so it matters where you place the ammeter and voltmete
