Integumentary System Function
Integumentary System Function
Regulates body temperature through sweating, blood vessel dilation/constriction.
Sensory Perception
Sensory Perception
Contains nerve endings that detect touch, pressure, pain, temperature, and other sensations.
Allergens
Allergens
Antigens that enter the body and trigger an immune response. Often cause Type 1 hypersensitivity.

Study Notes
- Projectile motion: Curved path of an object thrown or launched near Earth's surface.
- Assumptions: Negligible air resistance, gravity is the only force acting on the projectile.
- Horizontal acceleration is zero.
- Vertical acceleration is $-g$, where $g = 9.8 m/s^2$.
- Horizontal and vertical motions are independent.
Horizontal Position
- Formula: $x = v_{0x}t = v_0 \cos(\theta_0)t$
Vertical Position
- Formula: $y = v_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = v_0 \sin(\theta_0)t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
Time of Flight (when y = 0)
- Formula: $t = \frac{2v_0 \sin(\theta_0)}{g}$
Range (R)
- Formula: $R = \frac{2 v_0^2 \sin(\theta_0) \cos(\theta_0)}{g} = \frac{v_0^2 \sin(2\theta_0)}{g}$
Part 1: Constant Launch Angle, Variable Initial Velocity
- Keep launch angle constant.
- Use the projectile launcher at its lowest, medium, and high settings to vary inital velocity
- Measure and record the horizontal distance (range) the plastic ball travels.
- Repeat each setting/measurement 5 times and average the distances (ranges).
- Plot range ($R$) vs. initial velocity ($v_0$)
- Goal: determine the value for g
Part 2: Constant Initial Velocity, Variable Launch Angle
- Keep launch setting (initial velocity) constant.
- Vary the launch angles (20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°).
- Fire the projectile and record the horizontal distance (range) the ball travels.
- Repeat each setting/measurement 5 times and average the distances (ranges).
- Plot Range (R) vs launch angle (θ₀)
Questions to Consider
- Systematic and random errors.
- Effect of air resistance.
- Shape of projectile trajectory.
Data Collection
- Two data tables will be needed to collect data systematically
- One for constant launch angle, variable initial launch velocity
- One for constant initial velocity, variable launch angle (20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°).
- Collect five range measurements per setting
- Take the average for each range measurement.
