dear vijaya patel,
                          we know the equation of height h=u^2/2g (g=gravity of earth is 9.8 m/s^2) & u is initial velocity i.e.,10 m/s we caliculate by this formula we get 5.102 m so, the ball reached 5.102 m.

WE KNOW THE EQUATION FOR HIGHT ANY OBJECT THROWN WITH INTIAL VELOCITY(U),GRAVITY(g)THEN EQUATION IS U^2/2g,SO ANSWER IS 10^2/2*9.8=5.10M
