In this slide from the lecture, we're applying the formula for the position of a ball that's launched with an initial velocity (not zero).

The positive direction is pointing downhill (as shown by the ruler), and the initial position is 5.6m on the ruler. The downhill accelerationdue to gravity is 2.3 m/s2. The goal is to practice how to apply the formula shown below.

Calculate the value of x (the position on the ruler) in meters at the time 2.6. Enter two digits after the decimal point. The error margin is +/- 0.1m.
