No.The displacement-time graph of a moving body can not be a straight line

perpendicular to the time axis. A graph like that would indicate that the body

moved with infinite speed, moved from one place to another in zero time, or

occupied many different places at the same time. Considerable evidence has

piled up which suggests that none of those things can happen.

How do you create a straight line that slopes up on a position-time graph?

A straight line with a positive slope on a position-time graph is the graph of an object that's moving in a straight line with constant speed.


How is an object moving if a slanted straight line on a speed versus time graph represents its motion?

A straight slanted slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant acceleration.


What does it mean when a distance-time graph is straight line?

It means that the object in question is moving at a constant speed.If the graph is a straight horizontal line, then the speed is zero.


What would be the shape of a speed time graph of a body moving with variable speed?

If a body is moving with variable speed, then the only thing you can say aboutits speed/time graph is that the graph is not a straight, horizontal line.


What would a distance-versus-time graph look like for the moving?

Straight line


What would a distance-versus-time graph look like for the moving object?

Straight line


If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?

The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.


What can you say about the motion of a body if its displacement time graph is a straight line?

The object is moving at a constant speed.


How do you draw an abiatic line on a graph?

That depends on what you have chosen for the axes. If one of the axes is enthalpy, then an adiabatic line would be a straight line perpendicular to that axis.


Is y=x+11 parallel , perpendicular , or neither?

It is neither because it is just a straight line on the graph. There is only one line on the graph. So, it will not be perpendicular... well because there is only one line so it can not cross with any other line. It's not parrel because there is only one line.


Does the position-time graph of an object moving with a constant average velocity is always a straight line?

yes
