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.
Purty durn steep, but not vertical.

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.

A missle is flying at a speed 125 m/s. if the missle has a mass of 125 kg. What’s it’s kinetic energy
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

976562.5\ Joules

Explanation:

We\ are\ given:\\The\ mass\ of\ the\ missile=125\ kg\\The\ velocity\ of\ the\ missile=125\ m/s\\Hence,\\As\ we\ know\ that,\\Kinetic\ energy\ possessed\ by\ an\ object\ with\ mass\ m\ moving\\ with\ a\ velocity\ v:\\E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\Here,\\The\ Kinetic\ Energy\ possessed\ by\ the\ missile=\frac{1}{2}*125*(125)^2=976562.5\ Joules

A girl runs 20.9 m/s East for 13.7s. How far does she go?
Nataly [62]
20.9m = 1s

286.33m = 13.7s

To answer this you would multiply both sides by the amount of seconds she ran. The answer however is that she ran as far as 286.33m.
