3. Question 1 solution Shorter people have on average _____eye-foot
Nerve Impulses
Shorter people have on average _____eye-foot
reaction times compared to taller people.
longer
b) shorter
c) equal
For shorter people the distance from brain
to the feet is shorter so the nerve impulse has
less distance to travel.

4. Question 2 Based on height differences alone a person
Nerve Impulses
Based on height differences alone a person
that is 20% taller has an eye-foot reaction time

5. Question 2 Solution Based on height differences alone a person
Nerve Impulses
Based on height differences alone a person
that is 20% taller has an eye-foot reaction time
______ percent longer.
a) 10%
b) 20%
c) 40%
t = d/v, so that t is linear with distance. When
d changes by a certain percentage, t changes
in the same way.

7. Question 3 solution A signal from the brain travels with
Nerve Impulses
A signal from the brain travels with
constant velocity along the nerves.
true
b) false
The signal propagates electrically along the
neurons much faster than by chemical diffusion
between the neurons.
