To solve the problem of how far behind the boy the mango hits the ground, we can break it down into a few steps: ### Step 1: Determine the time taken for the mango to fall. The mango is dropped from a height of 20 meters. We can use the equation of motion for free fall: \[ s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \] ...
