T = 0.017 s
From the foot to the brain is almost the same as the height. We are not given the height of the woman, but to find "about" how much time, we need a height to work with.
She *could* be 1.7 m <- height = distance
Formula for speed, where k = speed, d = distance, t = time
k = d/t
Rearrange to solve for time:
t = d/k
Substitute known values:
t = (1.7 m) / (100 m/s)
Solve:
t = 0.017 s
Therefore, it takes about 0.017s for the impulse to travel from the foot to the brain.
The error is:
"<span>Find acceleration by finding the area of the rectangle above the line"
The acceleration of any body is the rate of change of velocity of that body. If the motion of the object being considered is plotted on a graph, with the velocity on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis, this ratio will be equivalent to the slope of the graph, not the area above the line.</span>
Evaporation? im not positive but im almost certain that's the answer
