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.

Double Displacement Reaction

An element from each of two compounds switch places.
Example: compound + compound ⇒ compound + compound

Chemical reactions are processes in which substances change into other substances. A chemical reaction takes place if one or more of these occur:
Color changes - Different combinations of molecules reflect light differently. A color change indicates a change in molecules.
Heat content changes- In all chemical reactions, the heat content of the reactants and the heat content of the products is never the same. Sometimes the difference is great and can be easily detected. At other times, the difference is slight and more difficult to detect.
Gas produced - Whenever a gaseous product forms in a liquid solution, bubbles can be seen. A colorless gas produced in a reaction of solids is much harder to detect.
Precipitate forms- Precipitates are insoluble products formed by a reaction taking place in a liquid solution. This insoluble product will eventually settle to the bottom, but might immediately appear by turning the clear solution cloudy.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:0.27*10^{6} (m)

Explanation:

with a wave we know that  speed= wavelenght* frecuency   so

wavelenght= 3*10^{7} / 109  = 0.27*10^{6} (m)
