What is the difference between Earth's magnetic and geographic poles? How do navigators take advantage of this?

1 answer:

5 0

Earth's magnetic poles are located near, but not quite exactly at, our planet's geographic poles (the "spin axis" on a globe). Compasses work as direction-finding devices because Earth has a magnetic field. The needle of a compass, itself a small bar magnet, points in the direction of the magnetic pole.

Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:

$\Sigma F = ma$

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We are given the mass and acceleration, so:

∑F = 20 · 2 = 40 N
