Does density of objects with the same weight affect how far it goes off a catapult?

Yes; if density is lower with same weight it will have bigger volume, hence more air resistance when catapulted and hence less distance traveled

What determines an objects density?
An objects density is determined by its' weight and volume.
What determines objects density?
An objects density is determined by its' weight and volume.
What are the similarities between a catapult and a trebuchet?
a trebuchet is a type of catapult. it used a counter weight
Does density define an objects mass?
weight
Does weight define an objects mass?
No, weight is a force. Mass is proportional to density.
Can you weigh density?
No. Density is a ratio; it is mass divided by volume. Anything that you can weigh has a non-zero density, but the weight of the thing is related to its mass and the gravity where it is being measured. You could have two objects of vastly different density, but the weight of the objects could be the same.
How much weight can a catapult hold?
if it had a large weight it was throwing then it probably would affect the throwing distance and height...the best rock thrower is called a trebuchet. it could also affect the speed the progectile is moving making it fall short of the desired distance. If it is too heavy the catapult might not be able to lift the progectile off the ground. hope this helps -coliam
Does weight affect how far a catapult launches a tennis ball?
Yes. The force applied by the catapult will cause an acceleration on the tennis ball that is inversely proportional to the mass of the tennis ball.
What are the four things that solid objects have?
Mass weight volume density
Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?
yes
Will an objects weight affect whether or not it is attracted to the magnet?
The force of attraction between a magnet and another object is completely unaffected by the object's weight, color, texture, age, density, religion, political affiliation, or gender preference.
How far will a catapult propel s mass and weight?
That depends on many circumstances including, projectile weight, catapult strength and etc.
