Well... I am in grade 12 Physics and we were asked to make a Slingshot to fit within a 1 meter cube. If anyone has any ideas or know any websites with plans to making one.. it will be very helpful
Thank you.
Thank you.

To build a slingshot in a 1m cube, you will need the following materials:
Building a slingshot in a 1m cube involves principles of mechanics and energy. The rubber band or elastic material stores potential energy, which is converted into kinetic energy when the projectile is released. The trajectory of the projectile is determined by the principles of projectile motion. The support or handle of the slingshot must be designed to withstand the tension and forces involved in the launching of the projectile.
The length of the rubber band affects the distance and speed of the projectile by changing the amount of potential energy stored in the band. A longer rubber band will have more potential energy, resulting in a greater distance and speed for the projectile. However, the tension and strength of the rubber band must also be considered. A shorter, stronger rubber band may be able to launch the projectile with more force, resulting in a greater distance and speed.
It is important to take safety precautions when building and using a slingshot in a 1m cube. The rubber band or elastic material used should be strong and securely attached to the support or handle. The slingshot should always be pointed in a safe direction, away from people and objects. The person using the slingshot should wear protective eyewear and should be aware of any potential hazards in the surrounding area.
The accuracy of the slingshot can be improved by carefully adjusting the length and tension of the rubber band. Additionally, the person using the slingshot should practice and become familiar with the mechanics and trajectory of the projectile. Factors such as wind and angle of release can also affect the accuracy, so these should be taken into consideration when aiming.
