Explanation:
Catapults store potential energy by stretching ropes and rubber bands and by bending and flexing a lever arm of wood or plastic. The more energy you pull back, the farther your projectile will go. When the projectile is released it converts the potential elastic energy into kinetic energy due to its motion
Answer:IT HAS A POTENTIAL ENERGY AS ELASTIC HAS A STREACHY PROPERTY.so that when it streaches it wants to be retract so to retract it needs energy which is formed due to its streachy properties so it will have some energy stored while being streached.AS WE KNOW THAT IF ANY ENERGY IS STORED IT HAS POTENTIAL ENERGY.THEREFORE A STREACHED CATAPULT HAS POTENTIAL ENERGY
