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 was a large military machine that was used to hurl objects such as rocks and spears. These catapults could generate tremendous force and hurl large objects over long distances. The catapult was replaced by the more effecive Trebuchet which could launch projectiles over even longer distances. The Trebuchet was also easier to build.
