Introduction to Catapult Project
This is a project based off a collaboration of both my Art class and Mathematics class. In math we conducted research on medieval catapults as well as modern-time catapults. We learned the history of them and their purposes. We learned the math that goes behind firing a catapult. Thats where most of the math involving in this project came from. For art, as a group we decided to design then eventually construct a catapult. After construction, all group launched there catapult and recorded their air time and distance. We then plugged in the statistics from the launch into equations that helped us solve different unknown rates that took place.
