How quickly can the nervous system relay messages ?

Physics

liberstina [14]3 years ago

The nervous system can relay messages about at a speed of 150 meters/second. For context, a car is only moving at 26.8 meters per second when driving 60 miles per hour. When you shoot a bullet, it is close to 350 meters per second. An interesting thought then is which sense is our fastest sense?? i know this is late but can i please get brainliest?

Many years ago, I read that the speed of communication through
nerve pathways had been measured as 123 meters per second.
I read that roughly around the time that the human race was evolving
nerve cells, and I have no later information.

The first answer posted here is in miles per hour, and when you
go through the unit conversion, it's equivalent to about 120 meters
per second.

This agreement between my ancient information and the new, modern
answer posted today makes me feel that these are both good numbers,
and the truth actually IS somewhere around 120 meters per second.

What is speed?.............
grandymaker [24]

Speed is a scalar quantity indicating how fast an object is moving, defined by the equation

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity which tells how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction.

The speed of an object can be calculated as follows:

speed = \frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered by the object

t is the time interval taken by the object to cover that distance

The SI units of the speed is the metre per second (m/s).

Speed must not be confused with velocity, which is instead a vector quantity, given by

velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

where displacement is a vector measuring the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position of the object. Since velocity is a vector, the direction matters, therefore an object can have different speed and velocity. For instance, an object completing a full circle has non-zero speed (because the distance covered is non-zero), but its velocity is zero (since the displacement is zero, because the object returns to its starting position).

Some runners train with parachutes that trail behind them to provide a large drag force. These parachutes are designed to have a
kirza4 [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of drag force which is described as half the product between the density, the drag coefficient, the area and the squared speed. Said expression mathematically is equivalent to,

F = \frac{1}{2} \rho C_d Av^2

Here,

\rho = Density

C_d = Drag coefficient

A = Area

v = Velocity

Our values are,

A = 1.8*1.8 = 3.24m^2

C_d = 1.4

v = 6m/s

\rho = 1.23kg/m^3  \rightarrow \text{Density of Air}

Replacing at the previous equation we have that,

F = \frac{1}{2} (1.23)(1.4)(3.24)(6)^2

F = 100.42N

Energy can be described through the work theorem, which is the product between force and distance traveled. So,

W = Fd

W = (100.42)(200)

W= 20084J

Therefore the thermal energy is 20.084kJ
