The weight of an object on a catapult affects how far it goes by influencing the force needed to launch it. A heavier object requires more force to be launched, which can impact the distance it travels. In general, a lighter object will be easier to launch and may reach further distances compared to a heavier object.

What is the same mass and weight?

The mass of an object doesn't change, no matter where the object goes. The object's weight changes, depending on what other masses are nearby.


Does the weight of and object affects how fast it goes down a plank?

It is possible.


What angle goes the farthest in launching a catapult?

45°


Does density of objects with the same weight affect how far it goes off a catapult?

Yes; if density is lower with same weight it will have bigger volume, hence more air resistance when catapulted and hence less distance traveled


What is the effect of an object's height on it's potential energy?

Generally, the higher an object goes, the higher its potential energy will be. This is because higher object will have more energy when it falls.


How are redshifts created?

A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.


Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it isn on earth but the objects weight different?

Because mass is conserved, which means it stays the same wherever the object goes. The weight is the force that the Earth attracts the object with, which changes when the object goes away from the Earth. Mass is measured by a balance, a pair of scales, where one mass is compared with another. Weight is measured by a spring balance, where the force of attraction by the Earth is measured by how much it extends a spring.


How far does the Wyvern catapult goes?

As long as your small Pin which would be 1 inch


Would mass change if we were on another planet?

No, mass is the same for an object wherever it goes. What changes is its weight, which is the force of attraction acting on it through proximity to a massive object.


Why does your weight change outside of earth?

Weight changes outside of Earth because weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. The gravitational pull on an object is determined by the mass of the object and the mass of the celestial body it is on. Therefore, weight will be different on different planets or celestial bodies due to variations in their gravitational pull.


What size bottle for a coke rocket goes the highest?

56,000 gallons. Anything bigger and the weight would have a major effect.


Why does pressure drop as you travel upward from earth surface?

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
