Wind Up The wind up is the first key phase of the throw. It occurs when the athlete positions themselves side on to the target. The main purpose of this phase is so the body can get into a rhythm which will make it easier for the throwing action to be more efficient. At the start of the wind up the athletes feet should be shoulder width apart and should be side on to the target. The athlete then extends their knee and strides outwards. This helps to develop momentum which is used in later stages…
Advantages: among the various types of catapults, the trebuchet was the most accurate and the most efficient in transferring the stored energy to the projectile. In addition, it allowed greater consistency in the throws due to the fact that the same amount of energy could be delivered every time, because it gains kinetic energy from the ropes, making it likely to hit something and destroy it. The gravity does all of the work, so there wasn’t the need for a large…

different. One sport is all about the foot and the other one, not so much. In soccer, the main point of the game is to keep the ball moving towards your goal using your feet. You can only use your hands if you are the goalkeeper or for throw ins. In football, you throw and run with the ball in you hands. The only time that you use your feet is when you punt, kick off, or kick an extra point or field goal. These two types of playing…

One horrible thing about softball is that you can get hurt if the softball hits you hard when the pitcher throw the ball. Another positive thing about softball is to have a really good hit when the pitcher throws the ball so you get a home run or go to 1st or 2nd base. One horrible thing is that you don’t want to get 3 strikes if you do your out. One…
I am an example of many stereotypes. I am a girl who cannot throw, swim, or even walk in a straight line. However, unlike me, most girls can do those physically demanding activities. Similar to how most girls can throw, most people who play video games are not violent, vulgar, or stupid. The origin of people playing video games are violent and vulgar is easy to point out, a number of video games are violent and vulgar. However, the stupid stereotype’s origin is a mystery to me. I thank video…

So, I’ve always been interested in how catapults were able to lay siege so successfully, which is why in the novel I am writing, one of the empires uses catapults to continue their campaign over the continent they reside on. Torsion makes catapults throw not only farther, but harder, which is obvious because of the high potential energy the twisted ropes…

Jonah followed instruction and went to the Nin’eveh.…
