Answer:
Time taken by the nerve signal for travelling this distance [tex]= 0.056[/tex] seconds
Explanation:
Given,
The length of nerve cell connecting the spinal cord to the feet [tex]= 1.4 m [/tex]
Speed of nerve impulse [tex]25\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
Time taken for the nerve signal to travel this distance is equal to the total " length of nerve cell connecting the spinal cord to the feet" divided by "speed of nerve impulse"
Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -
[tex]\frac{1.4}{25}[/tex]
[tex]= 0.056[/tex] seconds.
Thus , time taken by the nerve signal for travelling this distance [tex]= 0.056[/tex] seconds
