How do you make a mini catapult that is no more that 1 meter long in any direction and can shoot a standard tennis ball acurately at a flat target on the ground 2-8 feet away?

How does gravity affect a catapult?
Gravity pulls down the object catapulted and brings it to the ground.

A catapult is probably more effective, though a pulley is easier and safer to use.
Example of 3 laws of motion?
when we walk on the ground, our feet pushes the ground in backward direction, as a reaction ground pushes us in forward direction hence we can walk on the ground.
What is the difference between UPS Ground and UPS standard?
UPS Ground is the most cost efficient of the two but standard is significantly faster
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
What is bounce?
Bounce is a change of direction after hitting the ground.
Which direction do tornadoes move once they are on the ground?
A tornado can move in any direction, but the generally travel northeast.
Does the angle of a catapult affect the distance of a ball?
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.
