How does a catapult get its energy to launch?
Catapults work like third class levers. The base acts as the fulcrum on which the catapult arm pivots. Force is provided by rubber bands attached to the crossbar of the catapult. The rubber bands tighten when the arm is pulled back, so when the arm is released, it is propelled forward until it hits the crossbar. The object being launched is then propelled forward into the air.
