What are the physical principles of a catapult?
A catapult uses the principles of potential and kinetic energy. When a force is applied to the catapult, it stores potential energy in the form of tension in the device. When the tension is released, it converts into kinetic energy, propelling the object forward. The design of the catapult leverages these principles to launch projectiles with great force and distance.
How does catapult works?
a catapult has a elastic so it can be pulled back and when u let go it the item in it will go far.the catapult uses tension to give it its power .when the tension on elastics it created by pulling back the lever. it is released by letting go and the object will fly
