Momentum

a) What is smart beta? Before we can start describing Smart Beta, we must state that Beta is linked with the passive investment strategy while Alpha is linked with the active investment strategy. A smart beta investment strategy embraces a passive strategy but with a twist. It is related to a passive investment strategy because it is rule based due to no influence from portfolio managers and thus, following the market and does not trade stocks frequently, but still takes into account stock…

gradient, bed roughness, sponge layer and dynamic pressure gradient terms. For each term, a proper solution method is applied. Leapfrog scheme is used to obtain a second order accuracy in time domain. To ensure local momentum conservativity and monotonicity of the solution, the momentum and mass conservation equations are solved simultaneously. Due to the significance of horizontal advection of horizontal velocity in the simulation of wave propagation in shallow water close to incipient…

a) A mission statement is defined as a formal summary either a short sentence or paragraph that explains an individual’s, corporation’s or organisation’s aims and values in concise terms. A mission statement describes how the party will go about achieving its goals and includes its strengths. I would agree that source A and B are examples of personal mission statements. In source A, Mahatma Gandhi uses active statements such as “I shall” and “I will” to describe his aims and goals, such as “I…

When the high jumper takes off from his approach run he exerts a force to change direction (Coach.org, 2015). The Law of Acceleration asserts that, “the change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force that acts on the body, and takes place in the direction of that external force” (de Gosson, 2001). More force means greater acceleration. The more force the high jumper exerts at takeoff the greater the acceleration…

development of Jim Hawkins. The main conflict of the novel centers around the major theme of treasure, which in the beginning of the novel motivates the party to sail to Skeleton Island; however, once the party reaches the island the treasure losses momentum as a theme due to developing maturity of Hawkins and the coming mutiny. Continuing, once the mutiny occurs and Hawkins is separated from the Captain and Squire he is seeks solace in Benn Gunn. Shockingly however, Benn Gunn proves to be…

In our box we made like a small nest so when the box was dropped the egg would have a more secure wall so it would cause less force on the egg, which is way how we derived impulse in our project. Momentum is derived by multiplying the mass times the velocity of an object. More mass, means more momentum, so we didn't want too much…

i. Abstract The objective of this paper is to construct and analyse the Fama and French three-factor model for the UK market. We will then be comparing the three-factor model to the slightly modified; Fama-French and Carhart’s four-factor model. The purpose of this paper is to find evidence, if any, of the validity of these multifactor models in the UK market. Previous research suggests that the search for a more convincing asset pricing model remains (Gregory, Tharyan and Christidis, 2011).…

On the last day of seventh grade, 4 of my friends and I decided to go out around town. We stopped at a diner and ordered a nice lunch. I then ordered a cheesecake to go, to bring home to my mother. We all agreed while we would split the cost of lunch, I would pay for my cheesecake separately. The time came where we had to pay and leave. We got the bill and immediately put the money needed in the middle, dividing it equally among the 5 people. However, we still needed to tip. We had decided to…

Fig: Schematic representation of LHC and it's detectors The primary objective of LHC is to answer the following questions: 1. Why some particles are heavier than others? If the Higgs mechanism is valid? 2. If the super-symmetry theory is valid? If yes then if super-symmetric particles exist? 3. If the concept of dark matter and dark energy correct? 4. Why our universe is made up of matter only? 5. What was the state of matter in the early universe? 6. What will be the properties…

Neutrinos are one of the most abundant particles in the universe second only to photons, yet they are one of the most elusive particles known to man. The neutrino is essentially a near massless subatomic particle possessing a neutral charge. Neutrinos scarcely interact with normal matter as a consequence of having a neutral charge and a mass of almost zero. There are three flavors of neutrinos: electron, tau, and muon; many neutrinos oscillate between these flavors. Neutrinos can be produced in…
