These tubes are filled with a noble gas, helium, neon, argon, etc. So wouldn't the gas that can be ionised eventually run out? They lose electrons, so those atoms wouldn't be able to absorb the energy of the radiation the same as gas that hasn't already been ionised. How come that a GM-tube is reusable if the atoms in the gas change. When radiation passes through a GM-tube the gas inside is ionised. Gravity as a catalyst for a more fuel efficient fuel

You gain by speeding up will be saved in the batteries so this mile was free when computing mpg. If your car is a hybrid you will consume no gas and the energy Suppose the hill is 1 mile long and the accelerating car consumesĠ.1 gallons of gas and the coasting car consumes 0.05 gallons for that leg of your trip the coasting has 20 mpg and the accelerating has 10 mpg. Is there a clear cut answer to this and if not, what's a good way to think about the problem?Īs you go down the hill do you suppose you use more fuel when coasting or accelerating? It seems to me the answer is obvious. The 2nd group of us dissent and claim that's exactly when you should accelerate, with the rationale of using gravity as a catalyst for a more fuel efficient fuel burn. Their reasoning being to cash in on all the free momentum you can get.

Group 1 believes that the driver should always coast on downslopes and never touch the gas. We're having a lively debate at work regarding best driving practices for fuel economy, ad we've finally settled into two camps on one specific topic what to do when approaching a hill. The drone flies relative to the air, so if you set it up when the air is stillĪnd if later a wind starts blowing, the drone will move with the wind but it will certainly not get blown as far When you set it up to hover over London it is already moving rightĪlong with London. What you need to understand is that your drone is rotating around the earth's axis just like anything "at rest" is. If I were in London England and launched a drone with 6 hours of battery and set it to hoover perfectly still, when the battery died would the drone land in London or America?
