If a main sequence star is cooling and expanding, it is entering the red giant stage. This means that the star has burned up all of it's hydrogen and is now starting to burn its helium making it cooler.

Which of the following statements about Masters programs is not correct?
uranmaximum [27]

The correct answer is C. The level of competition is not very high in most Masters  programs.

Explanation:

In sports, the word "master" is used to define athletes older than 30 and that usually are professional or have trained for many years, although novates are also allowed. This means in most cases in Master programs and teams a high level of competition can be expected due to the experience and extensive training of Master athletes. Indeed, many records in the field of sport belong to Master athletes rather than younger athletes. According to this, the incorrect statement is "The level of competition is not very high in most Masters  programs".

Suppose you monitor a large number (many thousands) of stars over a period of 3 years, searching for planets through the transit
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2. You must be able to precisely measure variations in the star's brightness with time.

5. As seen from Earth, the planet's orbit must be seen nearly edge–on (in the plane of our line-of-sight).

6. You must repeatedly obtain spectra of the star that the planet orbits.

Explanation:

The transit method is a very important and effective tool for discovering new exoplanets (the planets orbiting other stars out of the solar system). In this method the stars are observed for a long duration. When the exoplanet will cross in front of theses stars as seen from Earth, the brightness of the star will dip. To observe this dip following conditions must be met:

1. The orbit of the planet should be co-planar with the plane of our line of sight. Then only its transition can be observed.

2. The brightness of the star must be observed precisely as the period of transit can be less than a second as seen from Earth. Also the dip in brightness depends on the size of the planet. If the planet is not that big the intensity dip will be very less.

3. The spectrum of the star needs to be studied and observe during the transit and normally to find out the details about the planets.

4. Also, the orbital period should be less than the period of observation for the transit to occur at least once.

Two fishing boats depart a harbor at the same time, one traveling east, the other south. the eastbound boat travels at a speed 3
kaheart [24]
1) Let's call V_S the speed of the southbound boat, and V_E=V_s+3~mph the speed of the eastbound boat, which is 3 mph faster than the southbound boat. We can write the law of motion for the two boats:
S_E(t)=V_E t=(V_S+3)t
S_S(t)=V_S t


2) After a time t=3~h, the two boats are 45~mi apart. Using the laws of motion written at step 1, we can write the distance the two boats covered:
S_E(3~h)=3(V_S+3)=3V_S+9
S_S(3~h)=3V_S
The two boats travelled in perpendicular directions. Therefore, we can imagine the distance between them (45 mi) being the hypotenuse of a triangle, of which S_E and S_S are the two sides. Therefore, we can use Pythagorean theorem and write:
45= \sqrt{(3V_S)^2+(3V_S+9)^2}
Solving this, we find two solutions. Discarding the negative solution, we have V_S=9~mph, which is the speed of the southbound boat.
