- External stimuli are communicated to the brain by means of electrical signals propagating along nerve cells at a speed of approximately 25 m/s. Similarly, electrical messages are sent at the same speed from the brain along nerve cells to the muscles. Reflex actions are controlled by a relatively simple nerve circuit from a muscle to the spine and back to the muscle. Estimate the reflex time for a stimulus at the knee. (Assume that the signal resulting from the stimulus must travel a distance Δs = 1 m.)arrow_forward(1) 1.24 1.0+ 0.84 0.6+ 0.4+ 0.2+ 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 (A) B A particle moves along the x-axis so that its acceleration a (t) is given by the graph above for all values of t where 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.
