Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes muscle hypertrophy?

  • A decrease in muscle size due to a decrease in the size of existing muscle fibers
  • An increase in muscle size due to an increase in the size of existing muscle fibers (correct)
  • A decrease in muscle size due to a decrease in the number of muscle fibers
  • An increase in muscle size due to an increase in the number of muscle fibers

    • What is the formula for calculating force?

  • Force = mass x acceleration (correct)
  • Force = acceleration - mass
  • Force = mass / acceleration
  • Force = acceleration / mass

    • If a 300kg bar is exerting a force of 2940N on your body, what is the acceleration due to gravity?

  • 0.098m/s^2
  • 9.8m/s^2 (correct)
  • 29.4m/s^2
  • 2.94m/s^2

    • When muscles contract, they exert a force pulling one end of the muscle straight toward the other end.
