Explanation Introduction: Spacetime is a graph that shows the position of an object as the function of time. Worldline is defined as the line that represents the position of Earth as the function of time. Spacetime diagram for the slope of 30 ∘ from horizontal would be as follows: The graph shows the straight line passing through the origin. This means that the object is moving with a constant velocity. Since angle is 30 ∘ . So, the object covers 3 light-seconds in 3 seconds
