General note. Maybe not all problems have correct questions. Some questions (maybe the main question of the problem, maybe one of the subquestions) may make no real sense. In this case you have to write in your answer (in English or Russian): «impossible situation – ситуация невозможна». Of course, this answer has to be explained numerically or logically.
Data from the tables (Planetary data, stars, constants, etc.) may be used for solving every problem.
The answers «Да-Yes» or «Нет-No» have to be written in English or Russian.
Ещё раз прочитайте перед началом работы.
Общее замечание. Не исключено, что не во всех задачах вопросы поставлены корректно. Некоторые вопросы (возможно, главный вопрос задачи, возможно – подвопрос) могут не иметь смысла. В этом случае следует написать в ответе (по-русски или по-английски): «ситуация невозможна – impossible situation». Естественно, ответ должен быть подкреплён вычислениями или логическими рассуждениями.
Данные из таблиц (Солнечная система, звёзды, константы) могут быть использованы в любой задаче.
Ответы «Да-Yes» или «Нет-No» должны быть написаны по-русски или по-английски.
Условие
Calculate, which star emits more energy: the Sun or Alpha Centauri A+B.
Отговори
- Alpha Centauri A+B emits more energy than the Sun.
Решение
α-4. Alpha Centauri.
The magnitude of the Sun is , the magnitude of Alpha Centauri A – , Alpha Centauri B – . Comparing these values one can calculate, from which star more light comes to us, and how many times more. But we can not know, which of the objects emits more, because they are at different distances.
Let us calculate the apparent magnitude of Alpha Centauri A, if it was located at the place of the Sun,
This value is smaller than that of the Sun. Then Alpha Centauri A radiates more energy. Adding radiation Alpha Centauri B (not even calculating the value), gets more. Thus, Alpha Centauri A+B emits more energy than the Sun.

Note. The given sketches are not full; the team leaders have to give more detailed explanations to students. But the correct solutions in the students' papers (enough for 8 pts) may be shorter.
Note. Jury members should evaluate the student's solutions in essence, and not by looking on formal existence the mentioned sentences or formulae. The formal presence of the mentioned positions in the text is not necessary to give the respective points. Points should be done if the following steps de facto using these positions.
