Why when you ping a host in a LAN the TTL value is 128 but if you ping a host in another network the TTL value decreases from 255 to 254 my question is why the TTL value is 128?

The TTL or Time To Live is a value used to make packets eventually die, so they don't end up in infinite loops, clogging the network over time. Certain network devices decrement this value (routers mainly) by one as they process it. When the TTL reaches zero, the packet is discarded. Each Operating System implements its TCP/IP stack differently and starts packets off with the TTL of their choosing (the default TTL of the stack can be changed, but rarely is). Windows is 128 Linux is 64 Cisco is 256 So if your TTL is around 128 (remember the TTL gets decremented by certain devices) you are PROBABLY pinging a windows box. If it's near 256, probably Cisco etc. You can't rely on this information because other network devices can rewrite the TTL in a packet, but it's a decent indication of the OS on the other end, especially if it's a box you own and you aren't going through firewalls etc.

What is an anticorrelation?
An anticorrelation is a negative correlation, a relationship in which one value increases as another decreases.
If the value of two variables decreases are they positively correlated?
Not necessarily. They must decrease together (the question does not say so). Also, the decreases may not be sufficient for the to be correlated. It is less likely that they are negatively correlated, but with the amount of information in the question that is about all that can be said.

Why value of 'g' decreases due to increase in length?
as we go far from earths surface the value of g decreases this is because g is inversely proportional to the value of r^2(which is the distance of the body from the center of the earth.
If a resistor decreases in value what will happen to the current through the resistor?
If the voltage applied across the resistor remains constant, then as the resistance of the resistor decreases, the current through it will increase. Consider Ohm's Law: E = IR In this formula, in order for 'E' to remain constant as 'R' decreases, 'I' must increase. Another form of Ohm's Law: I = E/R If 'E' remains constant, then the value of the fraction increases as its denominator 'R' decreases.
