If the ostrich runs at the given speed and time, it will cover a distance of 10.75 miles.

Given the data in question:

  • Speed of the Ostrich; [tex]s = 43mi/hrs = 19.2227 m/s[/tex]
  • Time taken; [tex]t = 15m = 900s[/tex]

Distance; [tex]d = \ ?[/tex]

We know that, speed the rate at which an object covers distance.

Speed = distance / time

Hence,

distance = speed × time

We substitute our given values into the expression

[tex]d = 19.2227m/s\ * 900s \\ \\ d = 17300.43m\\ \\ d = 10.749988815mi\\ \\ d = 10.75mi[/tex]

Therefore, if the ostrich runs at the given speed and time, it will cover a distance of 10.75 miles.
