    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

    dry concrete runway and the Navy fighter is on the catapult of an aircraft carrier. (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
