There are several different types of catapult — a trebuchet is one type. The catapult in the cartoon looks like a “mangonel”, which was a precursor to the trebuchet. -You don’t even need cartoon physics to explain how it could work. The counterweight is a very heavy lead ore. The projectile is a light-weight rock, like volcanic pumice.
