Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Pressure with Height: pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

What if m1 is initially moving at 3.4 m/s while m2 is initially at rest? (a) find the maximum spring compression in this case?
Lisa [10]
<span>Ans : Initial E = KE = ½mv² = ½ * 1.2kg * (2.2m/s)² = 2.9 J max spring compression where both velocities are the same: conserve momentum: 1.2kg * 2.2m/s = (1.2 + 3.2)kg * v → v = 0.6 m/s which means the combined KE = ½ * (1.2 + 3.2)kg * (0.6m/s)² = 0.79 J The remaining energy went into the spring: U = (2.9 - 0.79) J = 2.1 J = ½kx² = ½ * 554N/m * x² x = 0.0076 m ↠(a)</span>

A bar magnet is held above the center of a conducting ring in the horizontal plane. The magnet is dropped so it falls lengthwise
Alenkinab [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that the magnet drops and falls lengthwise towards the canter of the ring. As a result, change in magnetic flux will occur which tends to induce an electric current in the ring.

Therefore, a magnetic field is also produced by the ring itself which will actually oppose or repel the magnet.  

Thus, we can conclude that the falling magnet be repelled by the ring due to the magnetic interaction of the magnet and the ring.
