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

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

I was even given a good thrashing from my father from time to time. But I did not mend my ways until this incident. I had just finished lunch at home and I was feeling very bored. My brothers and sisters‚ all of them older than I‚ had not returned home from school. I decided to walk around the neighborhood and I brought my trusty catapult with me.

The catapult was admitted to being a much smaller and scaled down version but it still functioned as well as a normal catapult would. However‚ it is highly doubtful that real catapults were used for firing fruit. Other than that the representation of the catapult is considered to be one of the more accurate

to make money. Was a war machine that shot such objects as spears or stones or hurled large weights against an enemy’s defenses. There were two main types of catapults: non torsion and torsion. Non Torsion catapults operated like giant bows and arrows‚ with the shooting power coming from the release of stretched fibers. In torsion catapults‚ the release of a twisted rope caused a beam to spring forward‚ heaving heavy stones or weights. The longbow as we recognise it today‚ measuring around the height

because of the wheels at the bottom and it was more efficient than pickaxes. It was bad because it was generally made of wood which could catch fire easily. Catapult The catapult was a siege engine which was used to throw projectiles over walls. These projectiles included stones and in cases of a siege‚ rotting corpses of cows and humans. The catapult was good because it could be fired from a long range. It was bad because It was quite hard to transport. Siege A siege was the most common way of attacking
