The catapult is a simple machine. The work input is the restraining of the payload and pressure put on the spring or lever. The work output is the delivery of the payload with the energy of the work transferred to it.
No, a catapult works on the principle of stored mechanical energy that is released to propel an object. Frictional force plays a minimal role in the functioning of a catapult as the stored energy is primarily converted into kinetic energy for the launching of the object.
A pulley in a catapult is used to provide mechanical advantage by increasing the force applied to launch the projectile. As the tension in the rope connected to the pulley increases, it allows for a greater potential energy to be stored and then released rapidly to launch the projectile further and with more force. The pulley system helps in making the catapult more efficient and powerful.
The energy in a catapult is stored as potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy. This energy is stored in the stretched material of the catapult, such as a spring or elastic band, ready to be converted into kinetic energy when the catapult is released.
The main energy transfer for a catapult is from the potential energy stored in the tension of the catapult arm or springs to the kinetic energy of the projectile as it is launched.

Another work for catapult is trebuchet.
Because the catapult is effective.
a catapult yes. a trebuchet no
Yes, it is a catapult. Just like a mangonel but not a trebuchet.
They work as a catapult.
to make the work easy.
No, a canon is not a type of catapult. A canon is a type of rule, principle, or accepted body of work, while a catapult is a device used to launch projectiles over a distance.
Depends on each angle
