Detailed Solution

The maximum height achieved by the stone is

125 m,

net displacement is zero and distance covered by the stone is

250 m .

Given,
Initial velocity,

u = 50 m / s

Acceleration,

a = 10 m / s^{2}

Final velocity,

v = 0 m / s^{}

(after achieving maximum height, the stone is at rest)
According to newton’s third equation of motion,

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2 as

\Rightarrow

0 = 5 0^{2} + 2 (- 10) s

\Rightarrow

s = 125 m

And the stone will fall to its initial position (on earth)
So total displacement will be

0

and total distance will be twice the maximum height.
Total distance,

= 2 s = 250 m
