What does the slope of a displacement$-$time graph represent? Can a displacement$-$time graph be parallel to the displacement axis? Give a reason for your answer.
(N/A) The slope of a displacement$-$time graph represents the velocity of the object.
No,a displacement$-$time graph cannot be parallel to the displacement axis.
This is because a line parallel to the displacement axis would imply that the object covers an infinite displacement in zero time,which is physically impossible.
