When a mass(the magnet)
falling with the potential energy of inertia strikes the ground,
the Newtonian equal and opposite reaction occurs
sending that potential energy backward through the mass(the magnet)
as a kinetic shock wave that disrupts the...
Ionic polarity? Subatomic spin?
Oscillating relationships within the crystal lattice?
Somebody help me here...
An Iron bar rubbed in one direction with a magnet of any direction
yields an Iron bar magnet of one direction.
The direction you rub the magnet will be north
and somehow all the atoms of the Iron lean that way.
Here's the thing: The force of the shock wave is greater than
the force of the magnetic alignment.
If you drop a magnet, you can potentially make it lose some of its magnetism. Striking it with a hammer, exposing it to electric charges, and extreme temperature changes (rapid temperature change from freezing to boiling for example) can affect its magnetism.
Yes, if you: -drop it many times -hammer it many times -heat it over a flame
Exposure to heat, strong vibrations, or being dropped can cause a magnet to lose its magnetic properties. Additionally, exposure to strong magnetic fields in the opposite direction can demagnetize a magnet.

Because the magnetism runs from one end of the magnet to the other - across the whole magnet. You cannot have magnetism running in opposing directions in the SAME magnet.
A magnet can lose its magnetism if exposed to high temperatures. If heated above the point called the Curie temperature, a magnet will lose its magnetism.
