USAAAO 2019, II кръг — Задача 9
2019 National Astronomy Olympiad (NAO) · 15 т.
Instructions (Please Read Carefully)
(Start the exam after reading the instructions carefully and affirming that the contestant understood the instructions given.)
The top 5 eligible scorers on the NAO will be invited to represent USA at the next IOAA. In order to qualify for the national team, you must be a high school student with US citizenship or permanent residency.
This exam consists of 3 parts: Short Questions (7 points each), Medium Questions (15 points each) and Long Questions (25 points each). The maximum score is 153 points.
The test must be completed within 2.5 hours (150 minutes). The proctor should mark the start and end time of the exam on the front page.
Please solve each problem on a blank piece of paper and mark the number of the problem at the top of the page. The contestant’s full name in capital letters should appear at the top of each solution page. If the contestant uses scratch papers, those should be labeled with the contestant’s name as well and marked as ”scratch paper” at the top of the page. Scratch paper will not be graded. Partial credit will be available given that correct and legible work was displayed in the solution. This exam document, solution, and all the scratch paper used should be turned in to the proctor at the end of the exam.
This is a written exam. Contestants can only use a scientific calculator for this exam. A table of physical constants will be provided. Discussing the problems with other people is strictly prohibited in any way until the end of the examination period on March 8th. Receiving any external help during the exam is strictly prohibited. This means that the only allowed items are: a scientific calculator, the provided table of constants, a pencil (or pen), an eraser, blank sheets of papers, and the exam. No books, notes, laptops, mobile phones, or any other devices are allowed while taking the exam.
After reading the instructions, please make sure to sign at the bottom of this page, affirming that:
- All work on this exam is mine.
- I took this exam under a proctor’s supervision.
- I did not receive any external aids besides the materials provided.
- I am not allowed to discuss the test with others throughout the period of this examination.
- Failure to follow these rules will lead to disqualification from the exam.

Archive constants sheet
The archive retains this general constants sheet alongside the USAAAO collection. The visible sheet does not identify a year or an issuing body. Its values differ from some constants explicitly used in the 2019 solutions; the archive does not establish that this was the exact sheet given to the 2019 contestants.
Условие
a) Find the shortest distance from Boston (, ) to Beijing (, )traveling along the Earth’s surface. Assume that the Earth is a uniform sphere of radius 6371 km.
b) What fraction of the path lies within the Arctic circle (north of )?
Отговори
- a) 10840 km
- b) 0.47
Решение
Solution:
(a) We choose a coordinate system with Boston lying on the x-axis and the axis of the Earth’s rotation corresponding to the z-axis. The two cities are separated by of longitude. Now, in spherical coordinates, we get that is given by for Boston and by for Beijing. Converting to cartesian coordinates on the unit sphere (we multiply by the radius later to get the actual distance), we get that are given by and . The cosine of the angle between them is given by . Noting that the distance is given by when is measured in radians, we get km.
(b) The equation of the plane passing through the origin and the two cities is given by . Now, solving the equations . Setting , we get and . Writing in terms of , we get . Thus, the product of values that satisfy this equation is . Doing the same with the variables switched, we get . The product of y-values is thus given by 0.00394098. Thus, the dot product of the points of contact with the Arctic circles is given by 0.692892. This gives an angle of . Therefore, the final ratio is .
