Answer:

It will take 0.018 sec to complete 1.87 m

Explanation:

We have given speed of the nerve impulse in the nervous system is 10.3 m/sec

Distance traveled by nerve impulse s = 1.87 m

We have to find the time taken by nerve impulse to complete this distance

We know that time is ratio of distance traveled and average speed

So time taken by nerve impulse to compete 1.87 m will be equal to

$=\frac{1.87}{103}=0.018sec$

So it will take 0.018 sec to complete 1.87 m
