Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?
Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”



“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”

The density of air on the Earth decreases almost linearly with height from 1.22kgm–3 at sea level
Paraphin [41]
P = 10^5 - ρ (average)gh

where ρ (average) = average air density between 0 and 5000 m = (1.22+0.74)/2 = 0.98

we know g & h

I get P = 52470 Pa
