A ball is dropped from a height of 2 m and rebounds to 34\tfrac{3}{4} of the height from which it falls each time. Find the total vertical distance travelled by the ball before it hits the ground for the 5th time. (Give your answer correct to one decimal place.) (a) 9.6 m9.6\text{ m} (b) 12.0 m12.0\text{ m} (c) 10.2 m10.2\text{ m} (d) 11.2 m11.2\text{ m}
