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. The catapult has proven to be a very effective weapon during ancient times, capable of inflicting great damage.
Catapults store potential energy in the arm until you release it. This is called potential elastic energy. Potential energy is stored in elastic, like a rubber band, when it is stretched.
In a catapult, potential energy is stored as potential elastic energy in the stretched ropes and rubber bands and in the bent and flexed lever arm of wood or plastic. This energy is called potential energy because it represents the energy an object has due to its position or configuration, in this case, the position of the stretched ropes, rubber bands, and bent lever arm.
The catapult has proven to be a very effective weapon during ancient times, capable of inflicting great damage. The main types of catapults used were the trebuchet, mangonel, onager, and ballista. These types of catapults will be described, and pictures and illustrations will be included.
