Consider the discussion among three students about a galaxy that appears red. Check (✓) the box of any of the students who are correct.
a. Student 1 says "Because there is mainly red light in this galaxy and no blue light, I think that only small, red stars formed in this galaxy and not any big blue ones."
b. Student 2 replies "I disagree; it's just that blue stars don't last very long. I think the blue stars that may have been there in the past have already evolved into red giants, so the galaxy looks red due to the light from all the red giants."
c. Student 3 says "Wait a minute; I think you're both wrong. I thought that both blue stars and red giants live short lives, so they should both be gone. I think all that's left are small red stars. So the galaxy appears red because it's full of a lot of old, red stars, not red giants."

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
