the human nervous system can propagate nerve impulses at about 10 squared metered per second. estimate the time it takes to travel 2 m from your toes to your brain.

Respuesta :

Use the formular d = v x t
d = 2m
v= 100m/s

t= d / v
 = 2 / 100
 = 0.02sec

Speed of nervous system

[tex]v = 10^2 m/s[/tex]

distance from toes to head

[tex]d = 2 m[/tex]

now as we know that

[tex] speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{2}{t}[/tex]

given that

[tex]v = 10^2 m/s[/tex]

[tex]10^2 = \frac{2}{t}[/tex]

on solving the above equation

[tex]t = 0.02 s[/tex]

so it will take 0.02 seconds to travel
