A monkey sitting on a branch of a tree 20 m high drops a mango directly above the head of a boy as he runs with a speed of `1.5 ms^(–1)` under the tree. How far behind the boy, does the mango hit the ground?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Time taken by man go to hit the ground `t=sqrt((2h)/(g)) =sqrt((2xx20)/(10))=2s`
Distance traveled by boy in `2s = v xx t = 1.5 xx 2 = 3.0 m`
