The trebuchet is larger (thus making everything else better, like a child throwing smaller rocks at a shorter distance than an adult can).
The system is also designed better, the catapult uses stored elasticity to propel the rock, whereas the trebuchet uses a heavily weighted beam which is lifted and stores gravitational energy, while the long sling holds the rock.
The leverage of the beam which is close to the pivot point against the long sling which will thus move faster propels its ammunition at an even faster speed than a catapult ever did.
Hopefully this answers the question.
As far as i know there are three: the basic catapult, trebuchet, and the floating arm trebuchet.
The difference is that the trebuchet sling the stone or fireballs .A catapult doesn't sling and it doesn't carry as much weight
Yes, it is a catapult. Just like a mangonel but not a trebuchet.
it would depend. if you make a catapult outta good wood it would throw them farther, but if yo put a long rope on the trebuchet it might be a tie.
Trebuchet. Scary thing.
In some ways, yes. A trebuchet can hurl objects farther and higher than a catapult, but a catapult can throw with more force.
a trebuchet is a type of catapult. it used a counter weight

Trebuchet is catapult that uses weight to fire.
Another work for catapult is trebuchet.
a catapult yes. a trebuchet no

The trebuchet was much like a catapult. It was replaced with the cannon, and later, firearms.
