Can the position-time graph of a moving object be parallel to the position axis? Why?
(B) No,the position-time graph of a moving object cannot be parallel to the position axis.
If the graph were parallel to the position axis,it would imply that the object is at multiple positions at the same instant of time.
This would mean the velocity of the object is infinite,which is physically impossible for a moving object.
