Question Credit: OpenStax College Physics S
The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of the axon (nerve fiber). If the nerve cell connecting the spinal cord to your feet is 1.4 m long and the nerve impulse speed is 18 m/s, how long does it take for the nerve signal to travel the distance? time:
