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.
Explanation:
We assume that the nerve impulse travels at a uniform speed.
The speed "v" is given as:
[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]Rearranging the above equation, we get:
[tex]t=\frac{d}{v}[/tex]Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} t=\frac{1.60\text{ m}}{100\text{ m/s}} \\ \\ t=0.016\text{ s} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
Thus, a nerve impulse takes 0.016 seconds to travel from foot to brain.
