What is a magnetic field line meant to show?1 / 8

The direction a tiny compass needle would point at that spot, and how strong the magnetic pull is there — lines closer together mean a stronger field.

An object moves in a circle at constant speed. Which way does its acceleration point?1 / 9

Toward the center of the circle. Even though the speed is constant, the direction keeps changing — and any change in velocity is an acceleration.
