Answer:

61 ms

Explanation:

Given that

Length of the nerve call connecting the spinal cord to your feet, s is 1.1 m

Speed of the impulse of the nerve, v = 18 m/s

Time taken by the nerve to travel the distance, t = ?

In solving this, we'd apply the very most basic formula in physics. Formula of speed, with respect to time and distance.

Speed, v = distance, s / time, t

time, t = distance, s / speed, v

time, t = 1.1 / 18

time, t = 0.061 s, converting to milliseconds, we have, time, t = 61 ms
