The given data can be listed below as,

Armadillo rises up to height ${\mathrm{y}}_1=0.544\mathrm{m}$

Armadillo jump in time${\mathrm{t}}_1=0.200\mathrm{s}$

The problem deals with the kinematic equation of motion in which the motion of an object is described at constant acceleration. Using the second kinematic equation, the initial speed of an armadillo when it leaves the ground can be determined. Further, with the first kinematic equation, the speed of an armadillo at height of 0.544 m can be found. Finally, using the formula for the third kinematic equation, the vertical height of an armadillo can be calculated.

Formula:

The displacement in kinematic equation is given by

$∆y=v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}a{t}^2$

The first kinematic equation for vertical motion is

$∆y=v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}a{t}^2$

As the upward direction is taken as positive,

localid="1660879109444" $$\begin{gathered} y_1-y_0=\left(v_{0}t\right)-\frac{1}{2}g{t}^2 \\ {v}_0=\frac{∆y+g{t}^2}{2t} \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{y}}_{\mathrm{f}}={\mathrm{v}}_0+\mathrm{at} \\ \mathrm{v}={\mathrm{v}}_0-\mathrm{gt} \\ \mathrm{v}=3.70\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2-\left(9.8\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2×0.200\mathrm{s}\right) \\ \mathrm{v}=1.74\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the speed of armadillo at height of 0.544 m is 1.74 m/s

$v_f^2=v_0^2+2ay$

Final velocity would be zero at the maximum height

$$\begin{gathered} 0=v_0^2-2a{y}_2 \\ {y}_2=\frac{{\left(3.7\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}\right)}^2}{2\left(9.8\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2\right)} \\ {y}_2=0.698\mathrm{m} \\ ∆y=0.698\mathrm{m}-0.544 \\ =0.154\mathrm{m} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the armadillo goes 0.154 m higher.
