Sailboats have many "poles". The ones that I think you are referring to are the mast and the boom. The Mast is the Tall one that sticks up out of the hull. The is connected horizontally to the mast.
There are 3 types of poles in science. A rotating sphere such as the planet Earth has two poles, which are where the rotation produces the minimum of motion, or which are where an imaginary axis of rotation emerges from the sphere. If an object is magnetic is has a magnetic north and south pole where lines of force can be imagined to emerge. And some objects such as water molecules have electrical poles, which are regions where there is either a positive or a negative charge.

What is the end of a magnet called?
A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.
In which part of the magnet are magnetic forces strongest?
The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center
What does the s and the n mean in a magnet?
NORTH AND SOUTH
Why is it inadvisable to make a horseshoe magnet from a flexible material?
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
What does a magnet attact?
a magnet attracts metal or steel ( this is from nick prager). And also iron.
What is the north pole of the magnet?
The pole attracted to the Earth's north pole, or another magnet's south pole.
What is the middle of a magnet called?
pole. the middle part of a magnet is the pole. :)
Does a compass only have a north pole?
No, a compass has both a north pole and a south pole. The needle of a compass aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, with one end pointing towards the magnetic north pole and the other end pointing towards the magnetic south pole.
If the labels on a magnet are missing how would you determine which pole is the north pole?
To determine the north pole of a magnet without labels, you can use a compass. The north pole of a magnet will attract the south pole of a compass needle, which points towards Earth's magnetic north. Placing the unknown magnet near the compass will let you see which end of the needle it attracts, thus identifying the north pole of the magnet.
What would the North Pole of magnet be attracted to?
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
How do you find the north and south pole of a magnet?
The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.
What is the end of a magnet called?
A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.
Why don't magnets stick to magnets?
Magnet sticks to another magnet when north pole of the first magnet approaches the south pole of the second magnet.
Why does a broken magnet remain a magnet?
It is so far experimentally impossible to separate the North Pole from the South Pole. Even if you cut the magnet into little pieces, it'll still remain a magnet because there will still be a North pole and a South Pole
In which part of the magnet are magnetic forces strongest?
The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center
If you put a North Pole magnet at The Magnetic North Pole will it levitate?
Yes, if you put a north pole magnet at The Magnetic North Pole it will levitate
What are the poles on a magnet?
One pole in a magnet which is n stands for north , and the other pole on a magnet which is s , stands for south. Those are the two poles on a magnet.
