Question

nerve impulses travel at about 100 m/s . if a women 1.6 m tall step on a drawing pin (a) roughly how long is it before . (b) if she is walking along with a speed of 2 m/s . how far will she have travelled in this time ?​

Answer 1

Hey Dear,

● Answer -

(a) Time = 0.016 s

(b) Distance = 0.032 m

◆ Explaination -

Time taken by nerve impulse to reach brain -

Time = distance / velocity

Time = 1.6 / 100

Time = 0.016 s

Distance travelled hy woman during this time -

Distance = time × velocity

Distance = 0.016 × 2

Distance = 0.032 m

Thanks for asking. Hope this was useful..
