Mathematical computations by a computer are faster than your quickest mathematical computations because the top speed of a neural impulse is about ________ times slower than the speed of electricity through the wired circuitry in a computer.
A) 3 hundred
B) 3 thousand
C) 3 hundred thousand
D) 3 million

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The speed of a neural impulse is about 100 meters per second, while the speed of electricity through the wired circuitry in a computer can be up to 299,792,458 meters per second. Therefore, the top speed of a neural impulse is about 3 million times slower than the speed of electricity through the wired circuitry in a computer.
