Answer #1

as the magnet falls it induces a current in the copper pipe.

That current creates a magnetic field that opposes the changing field of the falling magnet, so the magnet is repelled and falls more slowly

The direction of this current then opposed the change in the magnet’s field, resulting in the magnet being repelled and thus falling more slowly
