Question

I need help on this physics problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

the speed of the nerve impulse in miles per hour is 201.59 mi/hr

Explanation:

Given;

the speed of the nerve impulse, v = 90.1 m/s

To convert this speed in meters per second to miles per hour, we use the following method;

1,609 meter = 1 mile

3,600 s = 1 hour

$v(mi/h) = 90.1 \ \frac{m}{s} \times \frac{1 \ mile}{1,609 \ m} \times \frac{3,600 \ s}{1 \ hour} = (\frac{90.1 \times 3,600}{1,609} )\frac{mi}{hr} = 201.59 \ mi/hr$

Therefore, the speed of the nerve impulse in miles per hour is 201.59 mi/hr
