Given:
The speed of the nerve impulse in a human body is: v = 100 m/s
The height of the woman is: d = 1.60 m
To find:
Time taken by nerve impulses to travel from the foot to the brain.
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the nerve impulse travels at a uniform speed.
The speed "v" is given as:
Rearranging the above equation, we get:
Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:
Final answer:
Thus, a nerve impulse takes 0.016 seconds to travel from foot to brain.
