Though the definitions for types of catapults vary, each share one goal: to hurl an object through the air
Catapult Physics Catapult physics is basically the use of stored energy to hurl a projectile (the payload), without the use of an explosive The three primary energy storage mechanisms are tension, torsion, and gravity
Æ Catapult - Aeragon Catapults exploited the properties of elastic materials such as animal sinew, green wood or twisted fibers to propel a projectile They had much greater range and could launch larger projectiles than hand weapons It is interesting to note that catapults were still used as late as World War I
Catapult Mechanics | Dynamics, Force Trajectory The catapult, an ancient siege weapon, is a fascinating study in physics and mechanics Its operation involves several fundamental principles of dynamics, force, and trajectory
