Remember this!
Catapulted and propelled both describe the movement of an object with force. However, the difference between catapulted and propelled lies in the mechanism, force, direction, object, and speed. Catapulted implies a sudden and forceful launch in a specific direction, often with explosive force. On the other hand, propelled refers to the continuous and controlled movement caused by any type of force, without specifying a particular direction or speed.
