To find the distance covered by the rocket, we can use the formula for distance covered under constant acceleration from rest: $d = \frac{1}{2}at^2$, where $a$ is the acceleration and $t$ is the time. Substituting $a = 50 \, \text{m/s}^2$ and $t = 10 \, \text{s}$, we get $d = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 \times (10)^2 = 2500 \, \text{m}$.
