USAAAO 2021, II кръг — Short 5

2021 National Astronomy Competition · 5 т.

Внимание: Бележка към темата

All ten whole original Short/Medium/Long problems, 30 lettered parts, 9 nested roman requests and 7 numbered satellite quantities, all original worked keys and marking notes are retained. Printed scientific discrepancies are preserved in attributed local source notes. Medium 3 original calls both masses m; its key introduces a distinct M for the station and assumes m<Mm\lt M. A separate undated common archive constants/reference table is fully included with its own source identity; its use as the exact 2021 provided attachment is not established, and its constants do not replace native exam values. The native cover specifies blank paper and a signed declaration. March 20th is the end of the examination period, not an established single sitting date.

1 Instructions (Please Read Carefully)

The top 5 eligible scorers on the NAC 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, Medium Questions and Long Questions.

The maximum number of points is 180.

The test must be completed within 2.5 hours (150 minutes).

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 is a written exam. Contestants can only use a scientific or graphing 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 20th. Receiving any external help during the exam is strictly prohibited. This means that the only allowed items are: a calculator, the provided table of constants, a pencil (or pen), an eraser, blank sheets of papers, and the exam. No books or notes are allowed during the exam. Exam is proctored and recorded. You are expected to have your video on at all times.

After reading the instructions, please make sure to sign, affirming that:

  1. All work on this exam is mine.
  2. I did not receive any external aids besides the materials provided.
  3. I am not allowed to discuss the test with others throughout the period of this examination.
  4. Failure to follow these rules will lead to disqualification from the exam.

Условие

An astronomer who lives in Chicago (ϕ=41.88∘N; λ=87.63∘W\phi=41.88^\circ N;\ \lambda=87.63^\circ W) was very bored during the day of the winter solstice in the Northern hemisphere, so he started thinking about the sunset. The astronomer could not wait to see the sunset on that day. Considering that the true solar time at his location was 2:30 pm, how long did he have to wait to see the sunset? The declination of the sun on winter solstice is δ=−23.44∘\delta=-23.44^\circ.
