Is it possible for a distance-versus-time graph to be a vertical line

Physics

Yes it is possible only if the x axis is distance and the y axis is time, providing the object being monitored or graphed never moves and you are utilizing a line graph for the assignment. time will increase (traveling vertically on the y axis or up/down on the graph) and distance will stay at a constant 0 (not traveling horizontally the x axis or left/right on the graph)

Not the way we generally draw graphs ... with time on the x-axis
and distance on the y-axis.

A vertical line would mean ...

-- The object is a every different distance all at the same time.

-- The object moves from one distance to another in zero time.
   That's the same thing as saying its speed is infinite.

Both of these are definite no-no's.  So you will never see the position
(distance) of a real moving object graphed as a vertical line.

Why does a lunar eclipse last for a few hours whereas a solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. ... A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.

koban [17]

Answer:

1. Wave period = 0.962 s

2. Will absorb red and blue and reflect green

Explanation:

1.

The wave period is:

T = \frac{\lambda }{v} \\Where: \\T: Wave period \\ \lambda : Wavelength \\v: velocity

Wavelength is the distance between crests. So replacing the given information:

T = \frac{2.50}{2.60} = 0.962 s\\

2. In simple words the color of an object is the light it reflects. A green object reflects green light, and the rest is absorbed (red and blue).
