Why is the force exerted on the same amount of area on top of the mountain less than the force exerted at sea level?
Although you didn't mention air pressure, that seems to be what you are asking about. Air exerts pressure because air has weight, and we have a very thick atmosphere (which extends upward for about 200 miles) pressing down on us. But at higher altitudes, such as a mountain top, there is less air pressing down, since only the part of the atmosphere that is higher than where you are, is pressing down on you.

What is a peak force?
Peak force refers to the maximum amount of force exerted during a specific period of time, such as in a particular motion or exercise. It represents the highest level of force generated by a muscle or exerted on an object before decreasing.
What does force strength mean?
Force strength refers to the level of physical power or capability that an individual or object possesses to exert force on another object or resist external forces. It is often measured in terms of the amount of force that can be exerted or resisted in a specific situation.
What is the force exerted by the atmosphere?
The force exerted by the atmosphere is called atmospheric pressure. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) or 101.3 kilopascals (kPa). Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude.
The force that accelerates a car on a level road is exerted by which object?
In short: the tires. (friction) The force changes a few times to get there though. (gasoline -> chemical reaction -> pressure -> linear kinetic -> rotational kinetic)
What is the force at sea level that a boy of 50 kg exerts on a chair in which he is sitting?
The force exerted by the boy on the chair is equal to his weight, which is calculated as mass times gravity. At sea level, gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. Therefore, the force exerted by a 50 kg boy on a chair at sea level is 50 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 490.5 N.

When a car speeds up does the drag increase or decrease?
as an object accelerates, the amount of drag exerted on it increases. This means that more force is necessary to sustain the same level of acceleration. If that external force is increasing, as in a car or plane, then the object can be accelerated well past its terminal velocity. If, however, the only force being exerted on it is the force of gravity, then eventually the drag will become as great as the static force of gravity, and the object will cease to accelerate.

Why Does atmospheric pressure decreased as you climb a mountain?
The atmosphere is full of layers and when you are at ground level, you have a maximum amount of air above you, but when you climb the mountain, the amount of air decreases and thus the pressure Hope that was helpful!
What is pressure and how does it differ from force?
Pressure is a type of force, one which presses or pushes. A different type of force would be pulling. The word pressure is particularly used when we are talking about a force that is exerted by a gas or a liquid, which is distributed over some wide area. Normal atmospheric pressure, for example, is 24 pounds per square inch, and it is exerted on everything that is in the atmosphere at sea level (the pressure declines at higher altitude).
Would an object weigh more at the top of a mountain or at sea level?
You would weigh more at sea level. As you get father away from the surface of the earth, the force of gravity is weaker
What two things affect the level of an object acceleration?
The two things that affect the level of an object's acceleration are the magnitude of the applied force and the mass of the object. A greater force exerted on an object or a smaller mass will result in a higher acceleration.
What is the average pressure exerted by the atmosphere at sea level?
The average pressure exerted by the atmosphere at sea level is about 101.3 kilopascals, or 14.7 pounds per square inch.
