What type of energy is a stretched catapult?
The kind of potential energy in a catapult is known as elastic potential energy. The potential energy that is in the catapult is used when you activate the catapult and the rock (or any kind of ammo) fires.
what type of energy does catapult use?
kenetic energy
What kind of energy has a catapult when the elastic has been back?
potential energy
How the energy is transferred as a catapult is fired?
The energy stored in the stretched rubber (or elastic) is converted into the kinetic energy of the missile.
What energy source powers the catapult?
Most definetly Kinetic energy, maybe Gravitational as well.

What is a word that means something that changes the situation?
catapult
What kind of energy has a catapult when the elastic has been back?
potential energy
Is the distance of a certain mass when launched by a catapult affeted by potential energy and the angle in the catapult?
To achieve the most distance, you should set your catapult to release a projectile at 45 degrees angle relative to horizontal plane.Higher stored potential energy doesn't neccesarily mean more distance. Distance of the shot depends mainly on starting velocity, which in turn depends on rate at which catapult transfers the energy to the projectile. A limit for that depends on construction of the catapult.
Example of elastic potential energy?
Bunjee jumping Catapult

What are 3 forces that act on an object from a catapult?
The potential energy of the elasticity of the catapult material, air resistance, gravity.
What kind of energy does a catapult use?
In the elasticity of it being held down. It depends on which catapult mechanism, all catapults are powered by potential energy; for example the simple catapult is an elasctic band that is pulled back converting the energy used to pull it back (usually muscle power) into the potential energy in the stretched elastic band.
What makes a catapult launch an object far?
A catapult launches an object far by converting potential energy into kinetic energy. When the tension is released, the stored potential energy is transferred to the object, propelling it forward. Factors like the tension in the catapult's arm, the angle of launch, and the weight of the projectile all contribute to how far the object will be launched. Additionally, reducing air resistance and optimizing the design of the catapult can also help increase the launch distance.
Would a catapult have potential energy?
Yes or it can have elastic energy(search it up)if it has a string/rope of some sort I think
