Does a catapult go farther if it has more rubber bands on it?
Well, yes. This is because each rubber band has a maximum amount of force it can transfer before it snaps. So more rubber bands, more force and more distance.
Why does the mass affect to the stretch of a rubber band?
the heavier the mass the longer the extension of the rubber band, more mass is acting on it which means more gravity. This downward force acting on it causes it to extend further
How does a catapult get its energy to launch items?
Catapults work like third class levers. The base acts as the fulcrum on which the catapult arm pivots. Force is provided by rubber bands attached to the crossbar of the catapult. The rubber bands tighten when the arm is pulled back, so when the arm is released, it is propelled forward until it hits the crossbar. The object being launched is then propelled forward into the air.
Which force pushes a moving vehicle forward?
The engine causes the tires of the vehicle to turn. The tires are made of rubber in order to maximize the friction (traction) between the tires and the concrete. It is the tires and the force of friction which causes a vehicle to move forward (or backward, for that matter).
What is the force applied when you stretch a rubber band between your thumb and forefinger?
