No, because that would imply that the object travelled at infinite speed.

What is plotted on a vertical line distance-time graph?

Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.


What does a vertical line on a distance time graph indicate?

infinite speed


What line does a distance versus time graph never show?

a vertical one


What kind of graph shows an object's speed?

Speed = distance / time A line graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis could be used to determine speed. The speed would equal the slope of the line. Alternatively, a line graph with distance/time on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis would show speed. The acceleration would equal the slope of the line.


A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axisif the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?

If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.


Is it false that a distance versus time graph will never show a vertical line?

Yes it is.


Does a vertical line on a distance time graph indicate that an object is stationary?

Object will change distance time graph when speed is changing. Distance time graph don't changed indicate of the stationary.


Is it possible for a distance vs time graph to be a vertical line?

No: not until instantaneous teleportation is discovered.


Does a distance-versus-time graph show a horizontle line?

Distance and Time are variables and always moving. Therefore the answer is no. Let's suppose: If time is the vertical axis and distance (travelled) the horizontal axis. Standing still (not travelling) would show a vertical graph line. If distance is the vertical axis and time the horizontal axis. Then standing still would form a horizontal line based on time alone.


Why is it not possible for any part of the distance-time graph of a body to be a straight-line segment parallel to the distance axis?

BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.


What is a graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called?

distance-time graph


How would you describe the slope of a graph showing fast speed?

If it is distance from a point versus time, with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, it would show a steep vertical climb on the graph. The steeper vertical change, the faster, but never completely vertical. Large "rise" (distance) over short "run" (time). With 0 acceleration, the graph is a straight line.
