What forces are involved in catapults?
Gravity and air resistance are key forces acting on most catapults. Depending on the type of catapult, there will also be either tension or torsion. Both are forms of elasticity. Catapults with torsion acting on them are usually ballistas while catapults with tension acting on them are simply called catapults.
What type of wood did the Romans use in Onager catapults?
sprouse
Did the army of ancient Sparta have catapults?
yes they use catapults
How is tension used on catapults?
Tension stores energy, that when released flings the projectile. Tightly twisted ropes for instance store energy.
What did the ancient Greeks use catapults for?
they used these catapults for war and destruction!
Are cannons catapults?
No, cannons and catapults are not the same; they are distinct types of weaponry. Cannons are firearms that use explosive propellants to launch projectiles, typically made of metal and designed for long-range artillery. In contrast, catapults are ancient siege engines that use mechanical energy, such as tension or torsion, to hurl projectiles without explosives. While both are used to launch projectiles, their mechanisms and historical contexts differ significantly.
Why do you use catapults?
Catapults were useed to throw things over castle walls to kill your enemy.
What year did the egyptians use the catapults?

What did ancient egyptians use to make catapults?
They didn't. Catapults and balista's were first used in the roman empire.
How have catapults changed over time?
Catapults have evolved from ancient designs using tension and torsion systems to more efficient designs like the trebuchet with a swinging arm mechanism. Modern catapults, known as launchers, have been developed for military and aerospace applications, utilizing advanced technology for precision and power. Overall, the principles of catapults have remained consistent over time, focusing on using stored energy to launch projectiles.
