Detailed Solution

The height attained or the distance is

1.8 m

and time taken to reach the top is

0.6 s

Given:
The initial velocity is

u = 6 m s^{- 1}

.
The final velocity

v = 0

(the stone stops at the top)
Acceleration

a = - 10 cm s^{- 2}

(Since the stone is thrown vertically upwards, the velocity of the stone goes on decreasing. This is due to the force of gravity of the earth that is acting on it in the downward direction. So, the acceleration is negative.)
To find the distance (or height) and time
Using the third equation of motion formula
