What are *TWO* measures introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of gas?

Geography

Alisiya [41]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Two measures that have been introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of  gas are the introduction of light-rail and the use of carpool lanes.  

Explanation:

The introduction of light-rail will reduce the consumption of gas from personal vehicles and also reduce personal vehicle carbon emissions. One example is the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Los Angeles has a system that combines light rail and heavy rail called Metro Rail. The use of carpool lanes will reduce the use of gas and help to reduce traffic congestion because there will be less cars on the road in high traffic areas where there is a large percentage of the population who commutes to and from work on freeways. Carpool lanes or High Capacity Vehicle (HCV) lanes are found in metropolitan areas like Washington DC.

sineoko [7]
A scientific theory is an explanation of the natural world on the basis of facts which have been repeatedly confirmed by experiments and observations. <span>Scientific laws are rules that explain observations through either text or mathematic forms. These laws suggest cause and effect from observations and must be repeatable.

Therefore this would be a fact-supported scientific theory as it is an explanation based upon repeatedly confirmed experiments and observations, unlike Scientific law, which would be mathematical.

How do electromagnets produce a force?
Aliun [14]
A current turns a conductor into an electromagnet. ... When the electromagnet is placed near a fixed magnet, the two sets of poles repel and attract each other. This produces a force that makes the conductor rotate (spin) at high speed. This turns a shaft, which then drives a machine.
