A scout troop is practicing its orienteering skills with map and compass. First they walk due east for 1.20 km. Next, they walk 45.0° west of north for 2.70 km. In what direction must they walk to go directly back to their starting point? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates east of south and negative indicates west of south.

A compass includes a magnetized needle whose north end rotates to point in the direction of the external magnetic field. Draw the magnetic field lines created by the bar magnet below. Then, show the direction the compass needle would point at each of the four compass locations below. The south end of the compass needle is opposite the north end of the needle, but it is not necessary to draw the south part of the needle. It is also not necessary to draw the magnetic field created by the compass needles themselves. (5 pts total)
