Question

A nerve signal travels 150 meters per second. Determine the number of kilometers that the nerve signal will travel in the same time.

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is given that,

A nerve signal travels 150 meters per second. It is the speed of the nerve signal. We need to convert the number of kilometers that the nerve signal will travel in the same time.

We know that,

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 hour = 3600 seconds

$150\ \dfrac{m}{s}=150\times \dfrac{1/1000\ km}{1/3600\ h}$

$150\ m/s=540\ km/h$

So, the nerve signal will travel at the rate of 540 km/h. Hence, this is the required solution.
