Best Answer

There are two major steps in solving this problem.

First, we have to figure out how long it takes a monkey to fall 10m.

Second, we divide the distance from the base of the cliff by the number of seconds to estimate the unfortunate simian's velocity.

To get the time the monkey falls, (assuming this is on Earth with gravitational acceleration equal to 9.8 m / s), use the equation d = 4.9t2 . t = sqrt(d/4.9). Filling in the given value for d (10m) we get t = sqrt (10/4.9) which is about 1.43 seconds.

If the monkey travelled outward 5m from the edge of the cliff in 1.43 seconds, the furry fellow was going 5m / 1.43s or about 3.5 m/s.

Why the monkey chose to do the Acapulco Cliff Dive remains a mystery known only to him, and he is not talking.

What is cliff retreat?

A cliff retreat is a form of natural erosion. Rocks in the face of the cliff are broken down by wind and water (rain, waves, etc). The material in the cliff is loosened, and parts of the cliff face collapse. Eventually, an entire section of the cliff will fall into the sea, meaning that the cliff edge has retreated. The pace of cliff retreat is determined by the strength of the rocks in the cliff face, more than the cliff's height. It also most often occurs where the base of the cliff is continually being saturated by water, weakening the rock further.
