!help me fill in the blank!

Aneuron is stimulated with an electric pulse. the action potential is detected at a point 3.70 cm down the axon 0.0052 s later.when the action potential is detected 7.20 cm from the point of stimulation, the time required is 0.0063 s. what is the speed of the electric pulse along the axon? (why are two measurements needed instead of only one? )

Fossils can only be formed when? if mud, silt or tar is in the area to preserve the fossil ierosion does not occur and allows the fossil to form oxygen and microorganisms cannot decay the bones the area is dry and does not contain mud or silt
