Question Type the correct answer in the box. Limit your answer to three decimal places. A nerve signal travels 150 meters per second. Determine the number of kilometers that the nerve signal will travel in the same time. The nerve signal will travel kilometers in one second.

The nerve signal will travel 0.15 kilometers in one second

Explanation:

The speed of travel of a body or object or any other thing is the time rate at which it covers a particular distance.

Mathematically, speed = distance/time.

The distance is measured in meters while time is measured in seconds. Therefore, the unit of speed is meters per second.

However, there are other units of speed which are interconvertible.

For the given speed of the nerve signal,(150 meters per second), it can be converted to kilometers per second in the following way:

1000 meters = 1 km

Therefore, 150 meters = (150/1000) km = 0.15 km

Therefore, the nerve signal will travel 0.15 kilometers in one second.
