Does a vertical line on a distance time graph indicate that an object is stationary?

Object will change distance time graph when speed is changing. Distance time graph don't changed indicate of the stationary.


What is plotted on a vertical line distance-time graph?

Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.


A straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?

The straight horizontal line on a graph is referred to as the x-axis. The vertical line on a graph is the y-axis.


What line does a distance versus time graph never show?

a vertical one


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.


Is it false that a distance versus time graph will never show a vertical line?

Yes it is.


What info does the slope of a lone indicate on a distance verses time graph?

On a distance/time graph, the slope of the line is the speed. (Magnitude of velocity.)


In a graph showing time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis What would a straight horizontal line indicate?

The line would indicate motion at a constant speed.


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.


Why is it not possible for any part of the distance-time graph of a body to be a straight-line segment parallel to the distance axis?

BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.


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

constant speed


Is it possible for a distance vs time graph to be a vertical line?

No: not until instantaneous teleportation is discovered.
