Hi there!

Steam powered boats use steam to propel and move the boat, while sailboats rely in the angle of the sail and the wind to move and turn.

Hope this helps!

Steam powered boats run from an engine, using power, gears, and cranks to function.

Sailboats use no engine and rely on winds to move and change the direction of the boat.

A block of mass 0.221 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5365 N/m and pushed downward so that the
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 0.221 kg

Spring constant k = 5365 N/m

Distance x = 0.097 m

We need to calculate the height

Using stored energy in spring

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2...(I)

Using gravitational potential energy

U' =mgh....(II)

Using energy of conservation

E_{i}=E_{f}

U_{i}+U'_{i}=U_{f}+U'_{f}

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+0=0+mgh

h=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mg}

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass of the block

x = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

h=\dfrac{5365\times(0.097)^2}{2\times0.221\times9.8}

h=11.653\ m

Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.
