Because the catapult is effective.
A catapult is probably more effective, though a pulley is easier and safer to use.
A catapult is the product of relatively straightforward attempts to increase the range and penetrating power of missiles by strengthening the bow which propelled them
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.
The average medielval catapult was manned by four men, two to wind the rope taught, one for range finding and aiming, and the last man for loading and firing.
For a 9mm PISTOL- effective range is about 50 meters. Max range about 960.
Effective range- 50 yards. Maximum- 1 mile
The catapult worked by using tension in ropes to pull back the projectile cradle, then release and fling the object. The catapult ropes were usually cranked until enough tension existed, then it was released an all that potential energy turned into mechanical kinetic energy, flinging the object.
What is the maximum effective range of the M16A2 and M9?
the ballista has excellent accuracy but suffers from range, which is only 500 yards, the trebuchet has greater range, and accuracy, but slow reload time.the trebuchet is the most effective due to prolonged use to about the gunpowder age.
