Hi there!
We can use the following kinematic equation:
vf = final velocity (? m/s)
vi = intial velocity (0 m/s)
a = acceleration (5 m/s²)
d = displacement (8 m)
Plug in the givens and solve.

Answer:
D. shortest wavelength
Explanation:
Photons with the highest energy have the shortest wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of a photon.
A photon is a quantity that transmits electromagnetic energy from one place to the other.
- Gamma rays have photons that transmits the highest amount of energy.
- The rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiations.
Energy, wavelength and frequency of a photon are connected using the expression:
E = h f =
E is the energy
h is the Planck's constant
f is the frequency.
In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed 
, its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.
This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is
:
So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
