alpha is the excess return on an investment after adjusting for market related volatility and random fluctuations.

beta is a measure of volatility relative to a benchmark ,such as the S&P 500.

Explanation:

alpha and beta are two different parts of an equation used to explain the performance of stocks and investments funds. But in maths alpha and beta is the Greek alphabet

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet

nevsk [136]

The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

Thus, the answer is D.

Letter C on the map labels which feature of the Middle East?

likoan [24]

Honest, the map is so tiny, and so fuzzy when I blow it up, I really can't see anything on it clearly. But I think maybe I do see a letter ' C ' in the eastern Mediterranean, with a curved line over to the southern Gaza strip, where it meets Sinai. So I'll say it's the Gaza Strip.

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A

qaws [65]

$2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

$g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}$

and solving for R, we find that

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration $F_c$ experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force $F_G$ or

$F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

The orbital velocity v is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

$v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$

where r is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and T is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

$\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}$
