Based on these sentences, what does a magnetic compass show someone? the exact direction of the earth's geographic South Pole

the general direction of the earth's geographic South Pole

the exact direction of the earth's geographic North Pole

the general direction of the earth's geographic North Pole

The earth’s magnetic poles are in the general direction of the planet’s geographic poles. However, unlike the geographic poles, the magnetic poles are not always in the same place. They are moving slowly.

[. . .]

A magnetic compass is usually comprised of a magnetized needle and a card with north, south, east, and west printed on it. One end of the needle is attracted to the earth’s magnetic north pole. This end is often painted red. With one end showing you the direction of north, you can use the compass to figure out the other directions, too.

You notice a very one-dimensional-thinking snail crawling along one rail of a railroad track. naturally, you remove it to a safer place. but before you do, you observe it as it moves from position xi = -92.9 cm to position xf = -64.9 cm along the rail, as measured from a point where one rail abuts the next. what is the snail\'s displacement δx in centimeters?

Consider a one meter long horizontal pipe with a constant 100 cm^2 cross sectional area. water flows rightward into the pipe at x = 0 with flow velocity 02m/sec at every point within the pipe intake area. at x=1, the rightward flow rate is 0.192 m/sec. assume the water is a conserved quantity in the pipe, so there must be a leak (a sink) somewhere in the pipe. 1. compute net volumetric flow of the source if the system to be in equilibrium. 2. now assume the pipe in the problem has no leaks. compute the net volumetric rate of change for the system.
