The catapult is a one of the earliest weapons used for mass destruction that we know of. They are also one of the simplest weapons to make that would affect a large population. The catapult is a device used to fling an object a very long distance or at a high velocity to inflict damage to a large population. According to Baintighearn Aimiliona Tevnane the first catapult was constructed and used in battle in 400 BC by the Greeks. According to lordsandladies.org It was also that very same year that

Medieval Catapult Investigation I decided to think outside the box for this assignment and have the mindset to try and create a model of a medieval catapult for not only the enjoyment of building it but the understanding of what it was like to live in an era before technology‚ electricity‚ advanced tools and appliances. Trying to figure out what these times were like I tried to create my model to mimic methods used in this era using recycled hard wood‚ soft wood and twine to create an aged look

Churchill did not follow this course of action‚ which makes it clear that his main priority from the beginning was to keep the French Fleet away from Germany. This is not to say that Churchill did not want to impress Roosevelt and did not use Operation Catapult as an opportunity to do it. He did. Churchill had attempted to persuade the U.S. to enter the war as early as May of 1940.52 Both U.S. assistance and stopping Germany from potentially seizing the fleet were vital to Britain remaining

CRA Launch We having been learning more and more about the angles‚ energy‚ and more for when we are building our catapult and how it would launch. We would need the angles that we will launch from and the energy we have for the catapult. Also the kind of energy we will be using to launch the catapult is kinetic energy. The angles we have for the launch are 25° and 32°. So based on our background knowledge‚ the question for this would be‚ which angle will the object travel fastest? For the hypothesis

Wile E. Coyote Group Project Solution Dear Wile E. Coyote: We have worked to create graphs of the plan without and with the catapult. The 300 comes from the initial height measured in feet and the -16 comes from (1/2) the acceleration of gravity in feet per second^2. The 20 with the catapult comes from the initial velocity of 20 feet per second. As you can see based on this graph the time the rock will hit the ground is roughly in 4.3 seconds. We can find the exact value by plugging in 0 for

(Hint: You will have to use two different methods because you are not given the catapult force‚ but you have the catapult distance. Assume aircraft is airborne after the catapult stroke.)

like raw eggs and rocks with a catapult. Guess what‚ it was! By flinging these items I tried to find out if heavier things would travel farther than lighter ones. Basically how force effects motion. With the catapult as the force‚ I sent items soaring‚ after weighing them‚ and then recorded how far the items travelled. This showed me how Newtons Three Laws of Motion work. Force causes change is Newton’s First Law of Motion which I saw from the catapult flinging the items. My hypothesis

gummy bear project was to provide us with a chance to practice the statistics experimental design‚ through measuring how far the gummy bears fly from a catapult in centimeters. This catapult contains 3 different stages from which to launch gummy bears at different angles: front‚ middle‚ and back‚ as well as two different positions upon the catapult at either the front or back. Then‚ based upon each configuration‚ we launched the gummy bears 5 times‚ for a total of 2x3x5‚ 30 treatments. Controls

Assyrians consisted of complex battering rams‚ earthen ramps and a dedicated corps of engineers and sappers. Alexander the Great and the Greeks would take the next steps in the evolution of siege warfare. The Greeks had invented the catapult circa 399 B.C. Early catapults were driven by either tension devices or torsion in the form of twisted ropes. In January 332 B.C.‚ Alexander began the Siege of Tyre. While the rest of the cities on the coast of modern Lebanon had surrendered to Alexander‚ he could
