Nerve impulses in a human body travel at a speed of about 100 m/s. Suppose a man accidentally stubs his toe. About how much time does it take the nerve impulse to travel from the foot to the brain (in s)? Assume the man is 1.70 m tall and the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.
A car is moving towards the left, which is the negative X direction. It travels 49.2 m during a 7.83-s time interval. What is the cars average speed in meters per second during the time interval?
