Catapult

For these reasons, the catapult (Figure 2) set was suggested as a primary training aid in the Six Sigma training. A catapult offered a tool/process that enhanced the learners’ understanding. It supported up to seven factors at two or more levels of experimental design as well as both continuous and categorical factors. It provided data for analysis, which could be used for Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R), Hypothesis Testing such as t-test, one-way ANOVA, Regression, Design of Experiments

each other, thrown spears, and launched giant rocks into enemy territory. The use of catapults, and other objects that hurl projectiles, also seem as old as human civilization itself. The effectiveness of the catapult in flinging objects over a great distance and causing destruction is due to a few basic physics principals that govern force, energy, motion, speed and mass to name a few. The design of the catapult denotes a change in modern warfare to the engineer behind weapons being just as important

Foreword Our team had worked on a catapult prototype from October 13 to October 25, 2016, to create a system with a functionally autonomous design. You have requested details on our prototype in order to model your labs for next semester based on the design and experience from our project. This report, which was originally assigned by Walburga Zahn on November 1, 2016, includes the design and building processes of the catapult, and the results of the catapult’s performance in several tests. Summary

more deadly. Weapons that use gunpowder to launch projectiles have a greater range than melee weapons and are more powerful than bow and arrows. Also, cannons are more powerful and have a greater range and accuracy than catapults and they also can be reloaded faster than catapults. Gunpowder weapons changed war because they are stronger, more accurate, have a greater range and are able to be reloaded faster than medieval weaponry. Gunpowder was invented long before the Europeans were introduced to

Data and Observations 7. Results 8. Conclusion 9. Bibliography ABSTRACT I thought it would be fun to fling things 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

impossible to go as fast as in the movie, the trebuchet can only fire 2 every 2 hours. Catapults didn’t fire rapidly like the movie , catapults the same as the Trebuchet can only fire 2 for every 2 hours. The technology back then was not like ours today, the catapults and weaponry are slow and have to go through a process with many men. The men also couldn’t possibly move as fast as the movie portrays them with the catapults. The movie really is action packed in this

Mainly this article focuses on the evolution of the catapult, how it went from being almost the same as a human archer to being on the ground and throwing large rocks at the enemy. Soedel and Foley focus exclusively on others works to make their claims of how catapults were key in the advancements of Greek and Roman civilizations and they include multiple diagrams and drawings of the stages of the catapult throughout the article. Soedel and Foley appear to have used Corn’s method

question was, “What is the effect of air pressure of a soccer ball on its bounce, ramp travel, and catapult travel?” The hypothesis stated that if a soccer ball is inflated to 5 different air pressures (namely 6.9 kPa, 31 kPa, 55.2 kPa, 79.3 kPa, and 103.4 kPa), then the soccer ball that is inflated to 103.4 kPa (15 PSI) will perform the best in all three tests: namely the bounce, ramp, and catapult travel tests. According to Soccer Ball World, higher air pressure correlates to further travel. This

teaching a class when she had become aware of two boys using catapults to fire ballpoint pens. The defendant told the students to throw the catapults in the bin and later in that lesson she was not aware that a student had retained a catapult and the plaintiff was struck in the eye when a ballpoint pen was discharged by a catapult. In this case the teacher cannot be found negligence because she had told all students to throw out the catapults and to her knowledge they had and so in comparison to the

Have you ever wondered how they would break down castle walls in the middle ages or about middle age warfare in all. I am going to build a trebuchet to learn more about Newtons Laws of Motion and how these simple yet complex machines ruled the battlefields in the middle ages. I became interested in this topic because I am fascinated by middle aged weaponry and machines. This will be beneficial to my knowledge to help me understand Newtons Laws of Motion and about these giant machines. I believe that
