No.  If time is the horizontal axis and distance is the vertical axis, then
it is not possible for a distance-vs-time graph to be a vertical line.

A vertical line would mean:

-- the object was at all distances at the same time,

-- it moved from any location to any other location in no time, and

-- it moved with infinite speed.

Even light doesn't do that.  A distance-vs-time graph for light is
not a vertical line.  It's a slanted line with slope of  (3 x 10⁸) m/s.

No, because time takes place on the x-axis and time never stops, so time would have to stop in order for it to be a vertical line.

Displacement vectors of 10 m west and 14 m west make a resultant vector that is _____.
Anastaziya [24]

For this case we can write each one of the vectors in the following way:

v1 = 10 i\\v2 = 14 i

This means that the x-axis is defined as positive towards the west.

Then, the resulting vector is:

v1 + v2 = 10i + 14i\\v1 + v2 = 24 i

Answer:

Displacement vectors of 10 m west and 14 m west make a resultant vector that is 24 m west

How would playing a game of soccer, baseball, or basketball be different if inertia didn't exist?
BigorU [14]
Inertia is what keeps everything moving, so if it didn't exist, the balls wouldn't keep going when they are kicked, or thrown.
