What type of energy is a stretched catapult?
The kind of potential energy in a catapult is known as elastic potential energy. The potential energy that is in the catapult is used when you activate the catapult and the rock (or any kind of ammo) fires.
What kind of energy does a catapult use?
In the elasticity of it being held down. It depends on which catapult mechanism, all catapults are powered by potential energy; for example the simple catapult is an elasctic band that is pulled back converting the energy used to pull it back (usually muscle power) into the potential energy in the stretched elastic band.
What are the energy changes in a catapult?
kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy
What kind of energy has a catapult when the elastic has been back?
potential energy
How the energy is transferred as a catapult is fired?
The energy stored in the stretched rubber (or elastic) is converted into the kinetic energy of the missile.

What type of lever did the onager catapult use?
It relied on a torsion (twisting) to provide the energy for the throw, as opposed to a counterweight.
What is the best type of catapult?
A Trebuchet Catapult

Is a canon a type of a catapult?
No, a canon is not a type of catapult. A canon is a type of rule, principle, or accepted body of work, while a catapult is a device used to launch projectiles over a distance.
How do the Romans use the catapult?
They used the catapult for war.
How was a catapult used?
A catapult is a type of siege engine, sort of a non-chemical artillery. They hurled heavy spears by releasing the energy stored in torsion. In Britain, a "catapult" is an elastic toy that throws marbles or small stones, in the US the same thing is called a slingshot.
What kind of energy has a catapult when the elastic has been back?
potential energy
Is the distance of a certain mass when launched by a catapult affeted by potential energy and the angle in the catapult?
To achieve the most distance, you should set your catapult to release a projectile at 45 degrees angle relative to horizontal plane.Higher stored potential energy doesn't neccesarily mean more distance. Distance of the shot depends mainly on starting velocity, which in turn depends on rate at which catapult transfers the energy to the projectile. A limit for that depends on construction of the catapult.
What is a sentence using the word catapult?
You use a catapult to launch things into the air.
What are three different type of catapults?
There are more but these are just a few: Aircraft Catapult, Slingshot Catapult, and an Onager Catapult.
