Answer

The armadillo goes another $~~0.154~m~~$ higher than $0.544~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the maximum height $y$ when the speed is zero: $v^2 = v_0^2+2ay$ $y = \frac{v^2 - v_0^2}{2a}$ $y = \frac{(0)^2 - (3.70~m/s)^2}{(2)(-9.8~m/s^2)}$ $y = 0.698~m$ We can find the additional height the armadillo reaches above $y = 0.544~m$: $\Delta y = 0.698~m-0.544~m = 0.154~m$ The armadillo goes another $~~0.154~m~~$ higher than $0.544~m$
