It is gas taxation. Taxes on gas hit wallets hard and drain bank accounts. The federal gas tax was a mere penny per gallon and first came into effect in 1932 as a temporary charge. Nine years later‚ the gas tax became permanent through the Revenue Act of 1941 in order to help fund the war effort and increased by half a cent per gallon. In 1959‚ President Eisenhower raised the tax to four pennies per gallon to fund his creation of the interstate highway system. As of 2005‚ the federal gas tax alone

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding The Process Gas Tungsten Arc Welding‚ also known as Tungsten Inert Gas Welding‚ is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce a weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas‚ such as argon or helium‚ and filler metal is normally used‚ except in autogenous welds. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and

What determines the perceived brightness of objects? Luminance is a physical and objective measure of the intensity of light. The sensation elicited by different luminances is called brightness. However brightness is a subjective measure as it is the perceived amount of light emanating from an object.

The reaction order‚ based on the rate law‚ was first order with respect to crystal violet and second order with respect to OH-. The rate law was as follows: Rate law = k [CV]1[OH-]1 where k equaled 2.61. In order to determine the reaction order with respect to crystal violet‚ the graph that described the relationship between ln[CV] and time (seconds) was Figure 2. Not only did Figure 2 generate a more linear relationship‚ but it had the highest R2 value of 0.992 than ([CV] versus time) and ([1/CV]
