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.
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.

speed = distance / time Algebrucally s = d/t
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.
with regard to question 16 above could any part of the speed line ever become perfectly vertical
Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator
Assuming that the question refers to a speed-time line, the answer is no. It would require the object to be travelling at infinite speed and, to be accelerated to an infinite speed would require an infinite amount of energy.
Oh honey, let me break it down for you. In a speed-time graph, the speed line can never be perfectly vertical because that would mean the speed is changing instantaneously, which is not physically possible. Speed is the rate of change of distance with respect to time, so a vertical line would imply an infinite speed, and last time I checked, we're not living in a Fast and Furious movie.
If the static vents become clogged, the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator will become inoperative. These instruments rely on static pressure to provide accurate readings, so any blockage in the static vents will disrupt their functioning.
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.
The vertical speed at the highest point of a projectile's trajectory is zero. This is because at the peak of the trajectory, the projectile momentarily stops ascending and starts descending, resulting in a velocity of zero in the vertical direction.
Not curved.
The vertical speed of a horizontal taut string depends on the wave speed because the tension in the string is responsible for transmitting the wave along its length. The wave speed is determined by the tension in the string and the properties of the medium it is traveling through, which in turn affects the vertical motion of the string as the wave propagates.
Vertical velocity is the rate of change of an object's position in the vertical direction per unit of time. It is the speed at which an object moves up or down relative to a reference point. Positive vertical velocity indicates upward movement, while negative vertical velocity indicates downward movement.
A vertical rectangle street sign is general information. Such as speed limit 30 miles an hour. Reduce speed ahead.
