Answer:

2) Earth’s geographic North Pole is close to the magnetic south pole.

3) Magnets allowed to move freely align themselves to point north.

5) The north pole on a compass is attracted to Earth’s magnetic south pole.

Hope this helped:)

It doesn't. It points to the Earth's MAGNETIC pole. There's only a very small part of the Earth's surface where the geographic pole is in exactly the same direction, and there are places where there's a huge difference. For example, I've worked in parts of Alaska where compasses point WEST !

B. Time and Space

Explanation:

Matter is a pshyical or corporeal susbtance in general, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous especially as distinguised from incorpeal substance, as spirit or mind, or form qualities, actions, and the

Within this time-and-space boundary, all matter exists. All matter is made up of atoms. Because these atoms take up space in the universe, solids, liquids, and gases are recognized as existing and may be found in all three dimensions.

Time is a figurative term. Space has three dimensions but time only has one.

You push a desk with 245 N, but the desk doesn't move due to its friction with the ground. What is the magnitude of the friction
const2013 [10]

If the desk doesn't move, then it's not accelerating.

If it's not accelerating, then the net force on it is zero.

If the net force on it is zero, then any forces on it are balanced.

If there are only two forces on it and they're balanced, then they have equal strengths, and they point in opposite directions.

So the friction on the desk must be equal to your<em> 245N</em> .
