Independent variables are ones that are not impacted by outside forces or other factors. Dependent variables are the ones that are impacted by other elements and need other elements in order to function.

Independent vs dependent variables?
Free from outside control means Independent . While dependent Is opposite.
What is a type of graph where the dependent variable is plotted vs the independent variable as unique points?
X-y graph
How do you determine which values are represented on the vertical axis vs the horizontal axis when you are given a problem situation?
Usually the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal, and the dependent is plotted on the vertical. Example if you're graphing distance vs time, then time is the independent variable, because time keeps going independent of how you are moving.
The effect of Gatorade VS water on seventh graders pulse rates while exercising what are the dependent and independent variables of this exeperiment?
Independent . . . what substance the 7th grader drinks Depoendent . . . his pulse rate
What do Variables Independent Dependent means in a science project?
An independent variable is what you change during an experiment, and a dependent variable is what gets changed. for example, if you are monitoring temperature vs size of plants. Everyday you change the temperature, and then record the size of the plants. Therefore, the temperature is the ind. variable and the size of the plants is the dep. variable.

In an experiment dealing with distance versus velocity which is the independent variable?
It will depend on the experiment. The answer is unclear because the question was not specific enough. There are experiments where either can be the independent variable. Your question is a bit vague, but there might be a solution. The best solution would be if you had your raw data, or remembered the structure of the experiment. Were you measuring velocity at specific distances, or were you measuring distances from set velocities? The set/specific values are your independent variables, and therefore the other quantity depends upon what you measured at those set intervals. The other possibility is in the wording of the question. If it is from your teacher, it is likely that the distance is the independent variable, as older terminology for graphing that uses versus, implies (not a guarantee, see below) that the independent variable is first (versus) the dependent, or x vs. y. Since the question states distance vs. velocity it can be assumed (again, not a guarantee) that distance is the independent and velocity is the dependent. You should ask for clarification of the whole versus phrasing, as some people don't know the order, and it is confusing. For example I had a high school teacher (and many other teachers) who stressed independent vs. dependent when graphing, because x comes before y. I had a college professor who stressed dependent vs. independent as the wording, because slope is y over x. So which is it, is the question; therefore it really is a poor way of describing the graph of the data. Regardless of which word goes before the versus, the independent is graphed on the x-axis, and the dependent is graphed on the y-axis. Next time ask for clarification phrased as _________ as a function of ___________. The first blank is of course the dependent variable, and the last blank is the independent variable.
On the distance vs time graph time is represented on the x-axis as the?
Time is on the x-axis as it is the independent variable. The distance is the dependent variable as the distance travelled depends on how long the journey has been going. :)
What is the difference between a speed vs time graph and a distance vs time graph?
The dependent variable.
What is the independent variable for Skittles vs M and M's?
me!
What is the difference between Independent vs democrat vs republican?
A republican is usually more conservative...then a democrat.
What is the equation for the curve of an acceleration vs mass graph?
It depends on the force acting on the body in question. Depending on which way you want your independent and dependent variables set up, the equation is either Acceleration = Force/mass or Mass = Force/acceleration
