Question

The human nervous system can propagate nerve impulses at about 102 m>s. Estimate the time it takes for a nerve impulse to travel 2 m from your toes to your brain.

Answer 1

t = 0.196 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of a pulse is determined by the characteristics of the medium, its density and its resistance to stress, as long as these remain the speed will be constant for which we can use the kinetic expressions of the uniform movement

v = x / t

t = x / v

calculate

t = 2/102

t = 0.196 s
