Question

Human Nerve Fibers Type A nerve fibers in humans can conduct nerve impulses at speeds up to 140 m/s. How far in meters can the impulses travel in 5.0 ms?

Answer 1

0.7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Type A nerve fibers = 140 m/s

Time of travel = 5.0 ms = 5 × 10^-3 m

Distance of travel =?

Distance = speed × time

Distance traveled = 140 × 5 × 10^-3

= 700 × 10^-3

= 0.7m

The Human Nerve Fibers Type A nerve fibers in humans can travel 0.7m.
