enemy who was on the other side (Farrell, 2006). The trebuchet uses Isaac Newton’s laws which are; The greater the mass of the object being accelerated the greater the amount of force needed to accelerate the object and (Pearson science ,2012). The motion of the projectile launched is parabolic and is influenced by factors such as the mass of the counter weight, the length of the pivot arm…

The first Law of Motion states that an object will forever remain in its current state, whether it is still or in motion, unless acted upon by another force. The second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object depends solely on the force exerted upon it and last but not least, The third Law of Motion states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. To each and every single law, Newton…
