I have been in the business of repairing well water systems for over 30 years. Your question is a common one believe it or not.
The pressure switch is not matched properlly to the well tanks air pressure. In addition the pipe fitting that goes to the pressure switch is almost clogged shut, causing an erratic sense of water pressure signal being sent to the pressure switch.
If this problem has been going on for a while, it is possible that the submersible typw well pump has been short cycling and this may of caused over heating of the pumps motor. Over heating pump motors are thermally protected and will shut off, cool down and re-start.
How To Fix It ?, New pressure switch, clean the pipe fitting to the switch. Put air pressure in the empty well tank that is only 2 pounds less the the ON setting of the switch range you are using.
If the pump has been over heating for too long of a period of time, New well pump.

How is a cell affected if it looses the ability to be selectively permeable?
It will burst. It is selectively permeable to ensure that only the material that is required in the cell is able to enter it, if it looses the ability to to be selectively permeable then difusion will occur and the cell with try to be equal to the outside pressure, which will likely cause the cell to burst.
What happens to the pressure of a tire if air is slowly leaking out of the tire?
It looses air therefore, you have a flat tire so you should go to a mechanic! The tire pressure slowly drops causing the tire to wear unevenly and you to have less stability and control of your vehicle.
Your 1995 Mazda 929 overheats looses water from the radiator and some of the hoses burst What are possible causes of this problem?
High pressure tells me of a possible head gasket problem. Have the cooling system pressure tested by a reputable garage; this will answer some questions.
