Your objective for this exercise is to develop a model of the relationship between the catapult variables and its launching performance. For this exercise, you will be setting three design variables:

1.      Launch angle (e.g., flatter or steeper initial flight trajectory)

2.      Number of rubber bands (e.g., the force required for pull back)

3.      Pull back angle (e.g., amount of energy accumulated in stretched rubber bands).

In order to develop the causal model, design and conduct a set of experiments.
