How does the catapult work and how does it apply th scientific principles?
Newton's first law is when then load sits in the catapult until the catapult is launched and then it moves. The second law is when the catapult output is given in the amount of force depending on how far the bucket is pulled back. The third law is the catapult will experience exactly the same force as the thrown object but in the opposite direction.
Does catapult work on frictional force?
No, it doesnot
Does a catapult have to be big for it to go far?
A catapult does not necessarily have to be big for it to go far. There are certain factors that affect how far a catapult will shoot. The speed of shooting and the force applied are the main factors.
Whats the force needed to move a load?
the force on the load is the force exerted by the simple machine on the load. All simple machines involve a force on the load and an effort force.
Does weight affect how far a catapult launches a tennis ball?
Yes. The force applied by the catapult will cause an acceleration on the tennis ball that is inversely proportional to the mass of the tennis ball.

What is the formula to a catapult?
You load the catapult and then you launch it. You wait. Stare at it. Then you look how far it went. Now you'll know how far it went.
Does catapult work on frictional force?
No, it doesnot
Is a catapult stronger than a trebuchet?
In some ways, yes. A trebuchet can hurl objects farther and higher than a catapult, but a catapult can throw with more force.
What are the similarities between a catapult and a trebuchet?
a trebuchet is a type of catapult. it used a counter weight
Does a 10lb catapult launch further than a 3lb one?
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.
How does a wheel and axle work in a catapult?
The wheel on the bottom of the catapult which is the large diameter disk obtains the load force being launched from the catapult. The axle which is the small diameter shaft (the spoke that is used to attach one tire to the other) also helps to move the both wheels to once again support the heavy load being launched. Basically, the wheel and axle have 2 jobs to preform in a catapult. The first one is to obtain the heavy force pushing down from the catapult. The second one is that it helps move the catapult from one place to another. For example, back in the medieval when they used the catapult constantly in wars they couldn't just stay in the same stop expecting they wouldn't get killed from the enemy. They had to move themselves and there catapult using the wheel and axle. Levers and pulleys also work in the catapult. The lever is the catapult arm. The the pulley is the rope being pulled down to tie the rope down for an attack to be launched. I hoped I helped! The funny thing is that I searched up this answer and when I clicked on this I found nothing so I decided to write something. I guess I actually didn't need to search this question up in the beginning.

How do you make a catapult go further?
You must have a lot of torque.The torque is the bending force.
Whats the force needed to move a load?
the force on the load is the force exerted by the simple machine on the load. All simple machines involve a force on the load and an effort force.
What is load force?
The load force is applying a force to move or hold an object that has weight.
What is torsional pressure?
Force exerted from a rope tide around the catapult shaft
