The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub your toe in the dark, estimate the time it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain.

depends on the distance from your toe to your brain.
If it were 1.8 meters
then time = distance / speed = 1.8 /100 = 0. 08 seconds
so about a tenth of a second
