Can a person's mailing address be located after his/her IP address has been found? In other words, could authorities find out where you live by your IP address on your computer?

definitely yes. But government security people(police) only can get those details from your internet service provider

Yes they can........its called an IP ADRESS. Like houses have adresses so do Computers allowing Authorities to track criminals and so on. Every computer has a different IP address.

Every box has a unique IP DNS/MAC address that if you ever look at or study GPS, it is fairly easy to figure out. Is done with cell phones every day. same principle , but that uses a more localized triangulation.
So yes, and Yes

Off the cuff, yes, it can be easily traced, but there are different ways to mask your original IP ADDRESS. It all depends on what sort of mischief you want to get into.
btw - human_beandip you might wanna check your spelling skills; it's address.
