Hello: * Yes, the angle of a catapult does affect the distance. And this applies to both changing the angle of the catapult and changing the angle of the terrain under the catapult. If you shoot the catapult at say 45 degrees, you have very good distance. If you shoot it at 30 degrees, while it may be further, it would be lower to the ground and perhaps not travel as far hitting trees and running into wind-shear. If you shoot at say 80 degrees, while the lob goes high up in the air, it won't travel very far. So your best bet, for maximum distance, is to take your catapult to the highest possible altitude, aim for 45 degrees, taking into account the wind direction and speed, and lob away. Don't hit anyone. :) Answer Actually, the maximum distance that can be achieved from a catapult is at an angle of 45 degrees. Every degree increase from 0 up to 45 approaches the maximum distance that something can be thrown. Every degree from 45 to 90 decreases the distance.

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.
In the absence of air resistance at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 degrees?
The answer is 45 degrees. If given the same velocity, and thrown at say...10 degrees, to the ground, then the distance it would travel is the same as the distance it would travel if it were thrown 80 degrees. Complementary angles end up at the same distance horizontally.
How does gravity affect a ball launched from a catapult?
Well, first gravity makes it launch, second it makes the ball start to fall down when it's launched.
Why is your arm a catapult when you throw a ball?
because your arm is the one that's throwing the ball you are the on who controlls your are and that's why your arm is a catapult when you throw the ball
Dose the size of a ball affect the distance it will roll?
The bigger the ball is the farther it will go.
How does the angle thrown affect the distance of a ball thrown?
yes it does the optimal ang

Ping pong ball catapult research far does it fly?
The distance travelled by the ping pong ball would depend on factors such as the force applied by the catapualt, the angle of launch, wind speed, and direction, etc.

Does stitching effect the distance of a soccer ball?
No this is simply to hold the ball together, it does not affect the distance the ball travels in any way.
Dose the size of a ball affect the distance it will roll?
The bigger the ball is the farther it will go.
Does the angle you have on a soccer ball affect the curve?
maybe....just leave me alone

What makes a catapult launch an object far?
A catapult launches an object far by converting potential energy into kinetic energy. When the tension is released, the stored potential energy is transferred to the object, propelling it forward. Factors like the tension in the catapult's arm, the angle of launch, and the weight of the projectile all contribute to how far the object will be launched. Additionally, reducing air resistance and optimizing the design of the catapult can also help increase the launch distance.
