(I assume that the 4 directions north-south-east-west are meant with respect to the wire seen from the top.)

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the magnetic field generated by the wire. The thumb follows the direction of the current in the wire (upward), while  the other fingers give the direction of the field in every point around the wire. Seen from the top, the field has an anti-clockwise direction. Therefore, if we take a point at east with respect to the wire, in this point the field has direction south.

Jessica's weight is 540 newtons. According to the Third Law, if the Earth pulls on Jessica with a force of 540 N, then Jessica p
Alja [10]

This is because the earth is way heavier than Jessica hence has a greater force of gravity applied on Jessica that Jessica applies to earth. The distance between the Earth and Jessica is also very short hence the force of gravity on Jessica towards earth is greater. According to Newton's laws that states; if an unbalanced force acts on an object, it will change the object's state of motion (the object will accelerate). The earth cause Jesica to ‘accelerate’ towards the ‘core’ when she stumbles.
