At angle 45 degree. 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.Read more: Does_the_angle_of_a_catapult_affect_the_distance_a_ball_would_go

in a frictionless vacuum, 45°, otherwise (on earth), aim to have the projectile release when the arm is at about 40° from the base
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.
Usually yes...but it depends on the angle of trajectory, weight and aerodynamics of the thing being catapulted, the length of the "arm" of the catapult, and the amount of force that the catapult is set to hurl the object. Example: a feather on the 10lb catapult which is set at a high trajectory and a low force will go almost nowhere while a stone from a 3 pound catapult will go much farther if it is set on a perfect trajectory and maximum force.
45°
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.
Well by the angle being at a certain angle it will launch sometime more then one meter and if the angle was a right angle then it will launch 350CM.
This means 'High Trajectory'. That is, a high launch angle.
The difference of these two is that pullback is how far and launch angle is the elevation. I'm not sure but you can check on Science Buddies or just google it .
Easy . Think of it like this. The higher you angle your catapult (or whatever your using.) The higher it will travel but it will have less power. If you have a lower angle you will have more power but it your projectile will hit the ground first. If you don't understand just play around with a slingshot and an empty can of soda. Or you could test it out this theory by playing around with angry birds ;)
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.
