To calculate the distance, we need to find the total distance covered by the softball.
The softball initially travels 7.2 m east from Clair to Sasha.
Then, Sasha throws it 9.5 m west back to Clair.
So, the total distance covered by the softball is the sum of these distances: 7.2 m + 9.5 m = 16.7 m.
Therefore, the distance covered by the softball is 16.7 meters.
Clair throws a softball 7.2 m east to Sasha, who then throws it 9.5 m west back to Clair who had to move back to catch the ball. The time takes 6.0s.
