Lucas part 5

Question 1

what is work

Answer 1

Energy used to move an object by applying force (F) over a distance (d).
W= F x D

Question 2

UNIT FOR WORK

Answer 2

joules or newton meters (Nm)

Question 3

Work occurs only if there is ____ in the direction of the force.

Answer 3

movement

Question 4

why is pushing a box that doesn’t move NOT considered work

Answer 4

bc the box doesnt move in the direction it is pushed in

Question 5

What kind of contraction are you performing while holding a plank? Are you doing work?

Answer 5

isometric, no because there’s no movement when holding a plank

Question 6

in words, what is power

Answer 6

the rate at which work is done or energy is used.

Question 7

what is the formula for power

Answer 7

P = w/t = (fxd)/t = f x v

because v = d/t, therefore f/1 x d/t = f x v

v for shortening velocity

Question 8

unit for power is in

Answer 8

watts

Question 9

what’s the relationship between force and velocity

Answer 9

as force increase, velocity decreases

Question 10

in words, what’s the relationship between power and velocity (explain the power velocity curve), and force too

Answer 10

at high force and low velocity, power is low because there’s high force but low velocity and it’s not balanced
Example: heavy objects move very slow, weightlifters

at low force and high velocity, power is low because there’s low force and high velocity and it’s not balanced
Example: a small ball moving very fast

power peaks at intermediate force and velocity.
Example: cycling, sprinting, rowing

fatigue resistance for SO, FOG, and FG

Answer 27

SO: high resistance FOG: moderate resistance FG: low resistance

Question 29

what is the mitochondria and blood supply for SO FOG and FG

Answer 29

SO: high mitochondria, high blood supply, red myoglobin FOG: medium mitochondria, medium blood supply, pink myoglobin FG: low mitochondria, low blood supply, white myoglobin

Answer 33

25%

Question 34

Remaining energy from muscles is often lost as heat (e.g., from ____).

Answer 34

Calcium pumps

Question 35

Isometric contractions (e.g., holding a plank) are energetically ____ because no mechanical work is done. (efficient or inefficient)

Answer 35

inefficient

Question 36

Malignant Hyperthermia: cause mutations in calcium channels (e.g., DHPRs, RyRs) that lead to ____

Answer 36

constant Ca²⁺ release.

Question 37

what are some symptoms of malignant hyperthemia (that causes constant release of calcium...)

Answer 37

Overheating, excessive energy use, muscle rigidity.

Question 41

while other vertebrates have (mixed or separated) fibers?

Answer 41

mixed

Question 42

You are riding a bike. On flat ground, your muscle was producing peak power. If you go on an incline, then what happens? Is your leg moving slower or faster than before? Is your muscle shortening slower or faster? Is your muscle producing as much force as before? How does power change?

Answer 42

Is your leg moving slower or faster than before? Slower. Climbing a hill increases resistance, which reduces the velocity of your leg movements. Is your muscle shortening slower or faster? Slower. Muscle shortening velocity decreases as more force is required to push against the hill's resistance. Is your muscle producing as much force as before? More force. Overcoming the incline requires greater force, even though velocity decreases. How does power change? Power depends on both force and velocity: P=F×v As velocity decreases and force increases, you may fall below peak power because muscles operate most efficiently at an intermediate velocity.

Question 43

A muscle fiber has enough ATP for ~3 seconds of activity at max power. Additional energy must come from other sources:

Answer 43

phosphocreatin, oxidative phsophorylation, glycolysis

Question 44

Why do muscles get warm during use?

Answer 44

During muscle activity, not all ATP energy is used for mechanical work (~25% max efficiency). The rest is released as heat. ATP-consuming processes like the Ca²⁺ pumps (in the sarcoplasmic reticulum) and cross-bridge cycling generate thermal energy.
