To calculate the time it takes for the nerve impulse to travel from your foot to your brain, we can use the formula:
Time (t) = Distance (d) / Speed (v)
In this case, the distance is given as 1.60 m and the speed is given as 124 m/s.
Therefore, we can substitute these values into the formula:
t = 1.60 m / 124 m/s
Now let's solve this equation:
t ≈ 0.0129 seconds
So, it takes approximately 0.0129 seconds for the nerve impulse to reach your brain.
