A 2.7 kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0-m-high cliff. At the instant the ball i
s thrown, a woman starts running away from the base of the cliff with a constant speed of 6.00 m/s. The woman runs in a straight line on level ground. Ignore air resistance on the ball.

Answer:
The average impact force is 12000 newtons.
Explanation:
By Impact Theorem we know that impact done by the sledge hammer on the chisel is equal to the change in the linear momentum of the former. The mathematical model that represents the situation is now described:
(1)
Where:
- Average impact force, in newtons.
- Duration of the impact, in seconds.
- Mass of the sledge hammer, in kilograms.
,
- Initial and final velocity, in meters per second.
If we know that ,
,
and
, then we estimate the average impact force is:
The average impact force is 12000 newtons.
Answer: 31.6ft
Explanation:
Check the attachment for the diagram.
According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|
that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft
According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2
10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2
100 + 900 = |AC|^2
|AC| = √1000
|AC| = 31.6ft
Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.
