Leto [7]

The question is asking us what is BEST to say about a runner who is running at a constant velocity? A constant velocity (=speed) means that they are not getting faster or slower - they are running exactly as fast all the time. This meanst that their speed does not change, so their change of speed is equal to 0. A change of speed is called acceleration so their C. Their acceleration is zero. - C is the correct answer.

What is transmitted by all waves

Nesterboy [21]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Energy

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

A wave is a transmission of disturbance from one point to another. All waves involve transmission of energy from one point called the source to another point.
Waves describes various ways in which energy can be transferred from a point source.
In electromagnetic waves, for instance, energy transmission occurs as a result of vibrations of electric and magnetic fields.
In mechanical waves energy transmission is as a result of vibration of particles in the medium used. For example in sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of particles of air or particles of a solid or medium through which sound travels through.
