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.
kenetic energy
kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy
potential energy
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.

kenetic energy
Transfer heat energy.
Transfer heat energy.
kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy
-> store and release energy -> Transfer energy all in a cell
Biochemical cycles are the main means of energy transfer through an ecosystem. The transfer of energy by eating and being eaten is called the food chain.
potential energy
Production of the main energy transfer molecule of all Life Adenosine tri-phosphate.
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.
The transfer of energy is called Energy Transfer
kinetic Energy. Energy is transferred from one object to another when a reaction takes place. Energy comes in many forms and can be transferred from one object to another as heat, light, or motion, to name a few. For the blue ball to move to the position of the green ball, energy must be given to the blue ball.
