Reaction time A basketball player’s teammate shouts at her to catch a ball. Estimate the time required for the sound to travel a distance of 10 m, be detected by the ear, travel as a nerve impulse to the brain, be processed, then travel as a nerve signal for muscle action back to an arm, and finally cause a muscle contraction. Nerve impulses travel at a speed of about 120 m/s in humans. You will have to make reasonable assumptions about quantities not stated in the problem.
