If Polaris cannot be seen because it is just a little below the horizon then were would you be?
If Polaris cannot be seen because it is just below the horizon, you would be located at a latitude slightly south of the North Pole, specifically at a latitude near 89 degrees north. At this position, Polaris would be too low on the horizon to be visible. As you move further south, Polaris becomes visible again as you approach the latitude where it appears above the horizon.

What is the altitude of Polaris as seen from New York City if the terrestrial coordinates are 41 degrees north 74 degrees west?
Polaris makes a little circle of about 1/3° radius around the celestial north pole every day. But we don't notice that, and it appears to mark the pole itself. So the altitude of Polaris is essentially equal to the observer's north latitude. If he's standing 41° north of the equator, then he'll see Polaris at roughly 41° above his northern horizon.
What constellation has Polaris in it?
Ursa Minor: the Little Bear.
