if it had a large weight it was throwing then it probably would affect the throwing distance and height...the best rock thrower is called a trebuchet.
it could also affect the speed the progectile is moving making it fall short of the desired distance.
If it is too heavy the catapult might not be able to lift the progectile off the ground.
hope this helps

Does weight affect how far a catapult launches a tennis ball?
Yes, weight can affect how far a catapult launches a tennis ball. A heavier weight in the catapult can generate more force and potential energy, which can result in the tennis ball being launched further. However, the weight must be balanced and optimized to ensure the catapult operates efficiently and effectively.

What affects the speed of a catapult?
The speed of a catapult is affected by factors like the tension in the catapult's rope or spring, the weight of the projectile being launched, the length of the catapult arm, and the angle at which the projectile is launched. Increasing tension, reducing projectile weight, increasing arm length, and finding the optimal launch angle can all help increase the speed of a catapult.

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.
