A catapult is a launching device that allows us to experimentally observe projectile motion (see Figure 1). Once the ball is launched, the only forces acting are gravity and air resistance. Gravity accelerates the ball in the negative y direction. Air resistance accelerates the ball in the opposite direction of travel.
Catapult Physics. Catapult physics is basically the use of stored energy to hurl a projectile (the payload), without the use of an explosive. The three primary energy storage mechanisms are tension, torsion, and gravity. The catapult has proven to be a very effective weapon during ancient times, capable of inflicting great damage.
The torsion catapult, with its efficient energy storage and release mechanism, became a prevalent design during the medieval period. Counterweight catapults, which relied on the force of a heavy counterweight to launch projectiles, also gained popularity for their simplicity and effectiveness.

Developed in the 1950s, steam catapults have proven exceptionally reliable. Carriers equipped with four steam catapults have been able to use at least one of them 99.5% of the time. However, there are a number of drawbacks. One group of Navy engineers wrote: "The foremost deficiency is that the catapult operates without feedback control. With no feedback, there often occurs large transients
