When representing speed on the vertical axis could the line become vertical. why or why not?

No, because the gradient of the line becomes infinite. Infinite gradient is equivalent to infinite acceleration at that point. Infinite acceleration (by Newton's Laws) would require infinite force.

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 is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?
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.
Raul found that by increasing his speed by 5 kmh he could drive 12 km in 0.2 hours What was Raul's original speed?
55 kilometers/hr
How could polynomials be used in real life?
Measuring a lawn Calculating the speed of a falling object
What is mathematical expression of speed?
speed = distance / time
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.
With regard to question 16 above could any part of the speed line ever become perfectly verical?

Which instrument will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?
Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator
Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?
Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed.
Could any part of the speed line ever become perfectly vertical?
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.
With regard to question16 above could any part of the speed line ever become perfectly vertical why or why not?
A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. If the speed is steadily increasing, what will the line representing speed look like on the graph? Could any part of the speed line ever become perfictly vertical? why or why not
What is vertical velocity?
'Vertical velocity' means speed up or down.
What is the value of the vertical speed at the highest point of the projectile's trajectory?
The value of the vertical speed at the highest point of the projectile's trajectory is the lowest speed at the maximum height reached.
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.
If the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?
Not curved.
What is the vertical speed of a projectile at the top of its flight?
Zero.
What does a vertical rectangle street sign stand for?
A vertical rectangle street sign is general information. Such as speed limit 30 miles an hour. Reduce speed ahead.
