Answer:
Given that Initial velocity, u = 40 m/s, Final velocity, v = 0 m/s.
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10m/s

(downward motion).
Maximum height, s = H.
As the body is thrown upward a = -g the relation v
2
=u
2
−2as gives v

=u

−2aH, we have,
H =
2g
u

−v

=
2(10m/s

)
40m/s

−0

=
20
1600
=80m.
If a stone is thrown vertically upward, it returns to its initial position after achieving maximum height.
so, the net displacement = Difference of positions between initial and final positions = 0.
Total distance covered = 80 m + 80 m = 160 m.
Hence, the displacement is 0 and the total distance covered is 160 m.
