Yes or it can have elastic energy(search it up)if it has a string/rope of some sort I think

What type of energy is a stretched catapult?
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.
What are the energy changes in a catapult?
kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy
What kind of energy has a catapult when the elastic has been back?
potential energy
Does kinetic energy and elastic potential energy have anything in common?
Yes because in a catapult the potential energy in a stretched piece of elastic is transferred to a stone as kinetic energy. The potential energy came from the user who stretched the elastic
What makes a catapult launch an object far?
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.

Example of elastic potential energy?
Bunjee jumping Catapult

Is the distance of a certain mass when launched by a catapult affeted by potential energy and the angle in the catapult?
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.
What are 3 forces that act on an object from a catapult?
The potential energy of the elasticity of the catapult material, air resistance, gravity.

Additionally, reducing air resistance and optimizing the design of the catapult can also help increase the launch distance.
What makes a catapult launch an object?
All of the potential energy is being released in a short period resulting in a lot of kinetic energy that shoots the ball forward.
What kind of energy does a catapult use?
In the elasticity of it being held down. It depends on which catapult mechanism, all catapults are powered by potential energy; for example the simple catapult is an elasctic band that is pulled back converting the energy used to pull it back (usually muscle power) into the potential energy in the stretched elastic band.
When is the kinetic energy transferred from object to object?
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.
How does a catapult demonstarte newton's second law of motion?
potential energy in the rubber is translated as a (diminishing) force on the mass, causing acceleration
