Is it possible to actually move an object to make a vertical line on the velocity graph?

No. A vertical line on a speed/time graph would indicate that the object's speed
changed from one value to another in zero time. Another way to describe it
would be to say that it had infinite acceleration. Neither description is physically
possible.

How far does an object travel if its velocity is 25.5 meters per second north and it travels 85 seconds?
Distance = Velocity*Time = 25.5*85 metres = 2167.5 metres.
Which statement is a correct interpretation of the vertical line test?
A-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at exactly one point, the graph represents a function.B-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at exactly one point, the graph does not represent a function. C-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at more than one point, the graph represents a function.-DIf there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at more than one point, the graph does not represent a function
How can an object have a velocity of 0 m per s but still be accelerating?
^velocity* Consider an object that is travelling south at 10m/s. It accelerates north until it is travelling 10m/s. If we define south as negative, then it accelerates from -10m/s to 10m/s. -10 < 0 < 10, hence, it is travelling at 0m/s at some point.
What is the volume and area of an isosceles trapezium?
The area of a trapezium is given by 0.5*(a+b)*h where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the vertical distance between them. The fact that the trapezium is isosceles does not matter. A trapezium is a 2 dimensional object and so it has no volume.
What is the significance of the slope in the graphs?
This is the first fundemental theorem of Calculus. The slope of a line is very important in your first calculus course. The slope tells you the rate of change. This means how much is the object change in height compared to its change in length. The slope of a line in Calculus is used as the first derivative. If you can take the slope of a line at one particular point you will find the answer to the derivative at this point. Remember this. You first equation on your graph is called your position equation. If you take the derivative of this equation it is called the velocity equation. The velocity equation is how much the position equation is sloping at each point. If you take the derivative of the velocity equation you will get the acceleration equation. The accerelation equation is how much the velocity is sloping at each point. You can take the derivative of the acceleration equation and this will give you the jerk equation. The jerk equation is not used in many applications and I have never used this equation in any of my 4 calculus classes.
What is the definition of vertical velocity?
Vertical means up and down; so the vertical velocity is an indication of how quickly an object is rising or falling. If the object is moving at an angle (such as an airplane taking off or landing) then it would be more accurate to call it the vertical component of the object's velocity.
When an object is in motion in a circle it has?
Vertical Velocity
Why at the highest point is the change in velocity zero?
Note - the vertical velocity is zero ... there may be considerable horizontal velocity. And vertical velocity is zero because the object is going neither up nor down.
Is it possible for an object to have zero velocity?
Zero relative velocity to another object, sure no problem. Zero absolute velocity, not possible as there is no absolute reference to compare to.
Is ta possible for an object to have average velocity equal to its instantaneous velocity?
Yes, yes it is
An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity?
what a stupid qn. ya it is possible
Why if the object moves as a projectile the X component of the velocity is constant and the Y component change at the same rate?
The 'x' component of the velocity is usually the label given to the horizontalcomponent. Also, remember, we generally ignore air-resistance in this typeof exercise. When we do that, there is no horizontal force on the object, sothe horizontal component of velocity can't change.The only force on the object is gravity, and that's completely vertical, so onlythe vertical component of velocity can change.
Can an object have a constant spped and velocity at the same time?
Velocity is a vector quantity. That means it has direction and magnitude. Speed is a scalar quantity, it only has magnitude. It is possible to have constant speed and constant velocity but it is also possible to have constant speed but changing velocity if the object is changing direction.
What is V - t graph?
It is a velocity-time graph in which time is plotted along the horizontal axis and the velocity of an object in a selected direction is plotted along the vertical axis.
Can you have zero displacement and nonzero velocity?
i will give u an illustration, consider an object projected (thrown)with some initial vertical velocity from the ground such that it traces a open downward parabolicpath, in that path the vertical displacement of the body from the point of projection to the point where it strikes the ground is equal to zero,but it have some velocity.
When an object At the highest point there's an instant when the motion is changing from upward to downward then what is its velocity?
At that moment, its vertical velocity is zero. Its horizontal velocity may or may not be zero, i.e., it may be moving sideways as well.
How does the unbalanced force of gravity affect the horizontal and vertical velocity of an object in projectile?
In the absence of air resistance, the force of gravity has no effect on the horizontal component of a projectile's velocity, and causes the vertical component of its velocity to increase by 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second downward for every second of its flight.
