Projectile motion also known as trajectory this is one of the most famous examples of motion in two dimensions in other words a projectile experience motion in the horizontal and the vertical. the path taken by a projectile looks like a parabola (but it is not necessary for it to be a complete one ) there are some famous examples of trajectories like the motion set by a catapult or the motion set by a bullet.

Catapults involve translational motion as the arm moves forward to launch the projectile. Additionally, there is rotational motion as the arm pivots around an axis during the launching process.

Which type of motion does cathode rays create?

Cathode rays create straight-line motion. They are streams of electrons that travel in a straight line from the cathode to the anode in a vacuum tube.


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.

How do catapults demonstrate science?

Catapults demonstrate principles of physics, such as projectile motion and potential energy conversion to kinetic energy. They illustrate concepts like force, acceleration, and trajectory through the mechanics of launching objects over a distance. Additionally, catapults highlight the importance of factors like angle of release and mass of the projectile in determining its flight path.


When were catapults used?

Some catapults were used in the middle ages to try and get into Medieval Castles. The Romans had catapults. I had a hand catapult when I was a youngster.
