The creation of the catapult was around the 3rd to 4th Century BC (A Brief). There were three main types of Catapults: The Ballista‚ Mangonel‚ and Trebuchet. They were constructed massively up to sixty feet and larger‚ in addition‚ they were made out of wood‚ rope‚ and other materials (History of Catapults). Catapults were used as a weapon to launch stones‚ missiles‚ and other objects during warfare (History of Catapults). They were used for centuries up until the invention of gunpowder and other

Catapults were one of the most terrorizing and powerful weapons of Ancient Greece and Rome. They were able to destroy enemy defense and turned sieges in favor of the offensor. They also operated with deadly precision and could fire massive boulders huge distances. (Foley and Soedel 5). Catapults were some of the biggest engineering marvel of Ancient times‚ and marked the first time many engineering and management techniques that we see today were used. And these new engineering practices let the

Catapult By: Hasan Abdullah (OSIS#200100360) Group: 1 Class: Introduction to Engineering (Mr.Cornish) Period: 9 Date: May 20‚ 2013 PROJECT OBJECTIVE The project objective was to learn about basic projectile motion theory‚ the mathematical models applicable to various projectile motion situations (e.g. catapult launch)‚ and construction techniques for specific raw building materials. In addition‚ a catapult was to be implemented and built based on an

device to launch a marshmallow into a container. Catapults were first invented to hurl projectiles farther than any human could. They were effective as blockade weapons and vital on the battle fields (Alchin‚ 2012). The type of catapult used in this experiment is called a Mangonel catapult. Typical mangonels are powered by a torsion-type string‚ which is twisted when the catapult arm is pulled back. When the catapult is fired‚ the spring pulls the catapult arm back to its original position‚ launching

Catapult Essay In the catapult project Joey’s group decided to try and make a ballista for there catapult project even though it wasn’t a catapult. Joeys group worked on the ballista for the first class but didn’t really know how to build it and didn’t have enough time to try and figure the problems out so we decided to build a catapult.then the next class Joey’s group took apart the ballista and started on the catapult.The purpose of this project was to be able to problem solve the problems your

Throughout the beginning of time‚ there was never an effective way to get aircraft’s properly off an aircraft carrier. That’s until the catapult came about‚ which paved the way to a safer lift off. The catapult improved the way the U.S. Navy prepared aircraft’s with bombs and machinery so they could fly to attack enemy forces. An aircraft catapult is a mechanism used to launch aircraft’s from ships‚ most commonly used on aircraft carriers‚ as a form of assisted lift off. It consists of a track built

The goal of our project was to launch a marble as accurately as possible and to calculate the initial velocity and angle of the catapult. In the beginning when we began testing‚ we had to find a way to keep our data stable and accurate‚ but that was a bit hard because the amount of force put onto the catapult differs at each trial and also did the angle of flight. Overall‚ I would say that‚ our data were accurate in trials 1‚2 and 4‚ but not 3 because I that trial‚ we used a bit more force to launch

others I suppose‚ but I had yet to witness a catapult that flew a shorter distance then ours. The experiment didn’t necessarily have a set up. We had a measuring tape‚ and it was required that we shoot our marshmallows from the ground. It resulted in a bit of difficulty at first as we watched our marshmallows skid across the tile‚ whilst we argued over which square it landed on. We usually picked the farthest one possible‚ considering our catapult wasn’t exactly up

I am Jessica Bogde and the title of my project is‚ “The Catapult.” I chose to do this project because in the fourth grade‚ one of my peers inspired me to build a catapult because she built it as her Science Fair Project. I also wanted to do this project because I love building things and this project just added to my experience in building things. I chose to work alone on this project because I work faster when I am independent because other people mess around sometimes. I also chose to do this

Catapults are one of the most famous ancient siege weapons among others including battering rams and siege towers. It has been mostly recognized as a weapon of the medieval era‚ but earliest records of catapults been used by a Greek task force in battles at just 399 BC. It was described by the historian Diodorus Sicilus as a “mechanical arrow-firing catapult”. Writings show that it was invented by Dionysus‚ the Elder of Syracuse. Mainly used in Greece‚ Rome and by far England and surrounding city-states
