Catapult Launching Experiment

---

How would you launch your catapult?

It was a typical day, as a students whose prone of prostractination; we again done something out of it. Honestly the task was given a week ago, but almost all of us forget to get set. We therefore felt awkwardness, cringeness, and fun at the same time as we performed it. We have the smallest and effortlesss catapult among the group. Imagine doing such just an hour before—crazy isn't it? But yeah, we've survived it though. In this experiment we've noticed the concept of catapult by evaluating the differences of one another in terms of design, technique, and the way we cope up despite of different situations that we're dealing. We've noticed that the longer you make the catapult's arm, the faster the end will move. But, if you make the catapult arm too long or too heavy, it will be harder to accelerate the arm in the first place. Another very important thing to think about is at what angle you stop the catapult arm. This happens when we launched our group's catapult and we were amazed on how it is capable to reach some distinct point despite of its size and materials. It depends on what the catapult is launching—how heavy it is, and how much air resistance it feels. In addition, you also have to try different points and see what works best that's why we've done different trials.

At first, we're all doubting of the catapult's capability because of its physical appearance but then we got shocked of how does it deals in performing the objectives. Our group's catapult is like being a human; indeed uniquely different from one another. We somehow compare ourselves because of the environment we are in, just like the way we've questioned the catapult's capability in reaching the objectives in comparison with other groups. But then, just like life, you may not be always prepared of what may come but what matters is on how you would cope up. Life comprised of technique and balance. The way we've balance the catapult from the ground, the way we change its angle to reach a different direction, the way we think positively despite of the less hope that we have—the trust beyond doubts. We are aware of our mistakes and deprivation and hopefully at some instant we would be able to make it better. On the other hand, just like the experiment in general, life is about learning from your own mistakes and performing your objective better the next time. Sometimes you really need to trust the process, your self, and the instrument itself in order for you to bring out its maximum capability. In addition, catapult is our own life's path towards the the destination we always wanted to reach. You are in control of it somehow, the way you change your angle would vary your direction, and your direction would lead you to your destination.

In conclusion, we are the ones whose capable and in control of what may happen at some point. It's not bad to criticized your self sometimes; but, it's not also bad to thank your self for doing your best to attain your full potential despite of what you're dealing. It is a free trial game, you can try it multiple times.  It's an application of projectile, where your destination would vary on how, when, and where you start the action.We may fail at once but not at all time; we may win at a time but not at all time. So in order to reached your goal destination, you must change your direction—and changing your direction means changing your force and angle. Thus, making sure that you're in the right place, in balance, and doing the right technique is what really matters.
