  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    v. t. e. In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the change in momentum of an object. If the initial momentum of an object is p1, and a subsequent momentum is p2, the object has received an impulse J : Momentum is a vector quantity, so impulse is also a vector quantity. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of ...

  3. Space Force Delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Force_Delta

    The Delta Symbol - An Origin Story. The Space Force Delta was officially unveiled by the Senior Enlisted Advisor of the Space Force, CMSgt Roger A. Towberman on 22 July 2020, alongside the Space Force's motto Semper Supra, which translates to "Always Above". The delta symbol has a strong historical tradition in the Space Force, being first used ...

    G {\displaystyle G} electrical conductance. siemens (S) universal gravitational constant. newton meter squared per kilogram squared (N⋅m 2 /kg 2 ) shear modulus. pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2 ) g {\displaystyle \mathbf {g} } acceleration due to gravity.

    The symbol ϑ ("script theta") is a cursive form of theta (θ), frequent in handwriting, and used with a specialized meaning as a technical symbol. The symbol ϰ ("kappa symbol") is a cursive form of kappa (κ), used as a technical symbol. The symbol ϖ ("variant pi") is an archaic script form of pi (π), also used as a technical symbol.

  6. Electron affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_affinity

    Electron affinity. The electron affinity ( Eea) of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron attaches to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form an anion. X (g) + e − → X − (g) + energy. This differs by sign from the energy change of electron capture ionization. [1]

    For example, if the delta of a call is 0.42 then one can compute the delta of the corresponding put at the same strike price by 0.42 − 1 = −0.58. To derive the delta of a call from a put, one can similarly take −0.58 and add 1 to get 0.42. Vega. Vega measures sensitivity to volatility.

  8. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    where x represents an unknown value, and a, b, and c represent known numbers, where a ≠ 0. (If a = 0 and b ≠ 0 then the equation is linear, not quadratic.)The numbers a, b, and c are the coefficients of the equation and may be distinguished by respectively calling them, the quadratic coefficient, the linear coefficient and the constant coefficient or free term.

  9. Variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

    The unbiased estimation of standard deviation is a technically involved problem, though for the normal distribution using the term n − 1.5 yields an almost unbiased estimator. The unbiased sample variance is a U-statistic for the function ƒ ( y 1 , y 2 ) = ( y 1 − y 2 ) 2 /2, meaning that it is obtained by averaging a 2-sample statistic ...
