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 is a graph of uniform velocity?

A graph of uniform velocity would be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating that the object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line without changing its velocity.


What is displacement time graph for a body moving in a straight line with uniformly increasing speed?

The displacement-time graph for a body moving in a straight line with uniformly increasing speed would be a straight line with a positive slope. As time increases, the displacement of the body also increases at a constant rate.


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 is the shape of displacement time graph for uniform motion?

The shape of the displacement-time graph for uniform motion is a straight line with a constant slope. This indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line.


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

A velocity-time graph is often a misnomer since it is, in almost all cases, a graph showing the component of velocity in the direction towards and away from a fixed point of reference. The graphs do not usually included any information on the motion in a perpendicular direction. Therefore, a straight line in a "velocity"-time graph indicates that there is no acceleration in the radial direction.


How does the graph displacement vs time look for something moving at a constant positive velocity?

An Upward Sloping Straight Line. <3


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.
