Hello, The rule is that you are not allowed to deliberatly knock over hurdles. If you would through them over with your hands for example you'd be disqualified. However if you just run over them and you happen to knock them all over then it's up to the officials to decide if you knocked them down on purpose. But really, you can knock them all over and it's okay because I don't think anyone gets disqualified for this nowadays. However I advise you to run over them and not hit them because it is much faster.
As many as they want. There's no penalty but it slows you down.

It depends on the individual. Far fewer hurdles are knocked down in women's hurdling than in men's because the hurdles are lower relative to the average height of women hurdlers.
For the 110m hurdles, the first hurdle is placed after a run up of 13.72m (45 ft) from the starting line. The next nine hurdles are set at a distance of 9.14m (30 ft) from each other, and the home stretch from the last hurdle to the finish line is 14.02m (46 ft) long.
Because the hurdles for men are set at different distances from the starting line than for women. For example: The mens hurdles start at the blue line, so the womens would start about 2 inches away at the yellow line. Additionally, elite men's stride length would not allow them to hurdle at the distance that womens hurdles are set at; it's simply too short.
Most hurdles can be adjusted to one of the following heights: 30 in., 33 in., 36 in., 39 in., and 42 in. The lowest setting is for women's 300/400 intermediate hurdles with the next setting for women's 100m hurdles. The 36 inch setting is for the 300/400 intermediate hurdles and the 39 inch setting is for high school 110m hurdles. The highest setting is for college 110m hurdles.
