    Engineering Fun! Catapult Presentation Notes


    As we go through the presentation, answer all the questions. This information will be useful for
    the upcoming activity!

    1. On the title page (slide 1), there is a picture with a plane on an aircraft carrier. What is one
    modern-day use of catapults? (Hint: think about the picture!)

    2. (slide 2) Catapults!

    (a) In the bottom right image, what should the angle θ be equal to if you want to launch the
    projectile as far as possible?

    (b) If the launching part of the catapult (the spoon-shaped piece) is held by a string before the
    projectile is launched, should that string be loose or tight? Why?

    3. (slide 3) Imagine you are using a catapult to shoot Ping-Pong balls at a target. You shoot 5
    Ping-Pong balls and they all hit the top right corner of the target even though you are aiming for
    the center bull’s-eye.

    (a) Are your shots accurate?

    (b) Are your shots precise?
