You accidentally drop a book down a stairwell. Assuming no air resistance,
how fast will the book be moving after 0.75 seconds?

if we drop it and not throw it then

after 0.75 how fast the book is falling is given by its velocity as

v= at

= 9.8 × 0.75

=7.35 m/s

a longitudinal wave moves energy that is to the direction of the wave’s movement. - true

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
