That would depend on the man’s starting latitude. If 6.7 mi south of the north pole, for example, the resultant would be 6.7 mi due north of the starting point.
Answer:
The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well
Explanation:
Given data
Frog at bottom=17 foot
Each time frog leaps 3 feet
Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot
To Find
Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well
Solution
in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)
=2 feet
=2×1 feet
The "-1" is because the frog goes back
Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:
Distance Jumped=2+2
Distance Jumped=2*2
=4 feet
Similarly after 7 jumps
Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2
Distance Jumped=2*7
=14 feet
Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.
So
Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3
=14+3
=17 feet
The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well
