Q: In the 'Reflexes & Special Senses' lab, the reaction time is measured. If a student reacts to a stimulus in 0.25 seconds, what is the speed of nerve impulse if the distance traveled is 1.5 meters?

$Speed = \frac{1.5}{0.25} = 6 \text{ m/s}$

Q: During the 'Nervous System & Spinal Cord' lab, students study nerve conduction. If the conduction velocity is calculated using $v = \frac{d}{t}$, what is the velocity if $d = 0.8$ m and $t = 0.004$ s?

$v = \frac{0.8}{0.004} = 200 \text{ m/s}$
