Mostly out of wood.
The oldest forms of a catapult are known are described about 2,000 years ago. These were based on principles used in the cross bow and therefore required some elastic material to store energy and a structural support to hold the mechanism. The essential elastic element was presumably a wood product just as the elastic element of a bow has been made of wood up until more modern constructions with spring metal and plastic materials.

What materials are used to make a reverse power catapult?
wood
Who made the catapult?
stewy from greece
What materials were used to make a catapult and why?
It wasn't practical to bring along seige engines when on a campaign so in those cases they were made of materials found on the outskirts of whatever structure undergoing seige. Wood from forests, mostly.

What was the catapult made for?
The catapult was made to launch projectiles and was very useful in battle before modern warfare.
What were catapults made out of?

What type of energy does a catapult have?
A catapult has potential energy stored in its elastic materials or tension system. When the catapult is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the projectile to launch forward.
What force does a catapult have?
A catapult generates force through tension in its ropes or springs, which is then released to launch a projectile. The amount of force produced depends on the design and materials of the catapult, as well as the amount of tension applied.
How can I create an effective wooden catapult design for a school project?
To create an effective wooden catapult design for a school project, follow these steps: Research different types of catapult designs to understand the principles behind their functionality. Choose a design that aligns with your project goals and materials available. Sketch out your design, including measurements and materials needed. Build the catapult using sturdy wooden materials and secure connections. Test the catapult with different projectiles to ensure it launches effectively. Make any necessary adjustments to improve performance. Present your catapult design, explaining the engineering principles behind its functionality.
