Chapter 02, Problem 044

We neglect air resistance, which justifies setting (taking down as the

direction) for the duration of the motion. We are allowed to use equations for motion with constant acceleration
because this is constant acceleration motion. The ground level is taken to correspond to the origin of the
axis.

(a) Using , with and , we find

(b) The velocity at is

(c) Using (with different values for and than before), we solve for the value of

corresponding to maximum height (where ).

Thus, the armadillo goes higher.
