Answer:

Compasses are mainly used in navigation to find direction on the earth. This works because the Earth itself has a magnetic field which is similar to that of a bar magnet (see the picture below). The compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field direction and points north-south.

Pie

Answer:

C.Earth and you exert equal and opposite forces on each other.

Explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

The force that the earth exerts on any object is due to the force of gravity and is known as weight, F = mg, this force is directed towards the center of the earth, in addition, according to the laws of physics for any action must have a reaction, in this case it is a force that goes out  from the ground and it is directed upwards, this force is called normal and it has the same magnitude of your weight but the opposite direction.

Have a great day.
