Question

Different nerve signals travel at different speeds. Pressure and touch signals travel about 250 feet per second. Dull pain signals travel about 2 feet per second. How long does it take you to feel an ant crawling on your foot? Write your answer in a sentence using context. How much longer does it take to feel a dull ache in your foot? Write your answer in a sentence using context.

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that:

Pressure and touch signal speed = 250 feets per Second

Dull pain signal speed = 2 feets per second

Ant crawling on foot

A crawling ant on one's feet can be attributed to a touch signal, hence it will take ;

Time = Distance / speed

(Distance moved by crawling ant / 250)

(Dull ache in foot) = 250 / 2 = 125

It takes 125 times longer to feel a dull ache in foot.
