Suppose you set a glass of water in direct sunlight for 2 hours and measure its temperature every 10 minutes What would be your dependent variable and what would be your independent variable?
Independent variable is time; dependent variable is temperature.
How do you plot concentration against length in a graph?
It depends on which variable is independent, and which one is dependent (its value is determined by a function of the independent variable). So suppose that concentration is a function of an arbitrary length (the length is what determines concentration). The independent variable (length) is put on the horizontal axis, and the dependent variable (concentration) is put on the vertical axis.
What are some kinds of independent variables?
The answer depends on the context. A variable can be independent in some studies but dependent in others. Time can be an independent variable in distance-time or speed-time studies but the time (to failure of a component) is a dependent variable. Perhaps confusingly, the same two variables can swap places depending upon the context. Suppose I believe that healthier people are taller (their growth is less likely to be stunted by illnesses) then my independent variable is some measure of their health and the dependent variable is their height. If instead, I believe that taller people are healthier (their parents must have had good genes) then the independent variable is height and the dependent is health.
What is the difference between a manipulated variable and a responding variable in a controlled experiment?
A variable is something which can change, that is have different values.The proper scientific terms for these are: Dependent and Independent variable. The independent variable is the thing that you vary during an experiment. The dependent variable is what changes as a result of that manipulation.A manipulated variable is the variable which you deliberately alter the value of. So, you will know the values of this variable before you do the experiment. This variable is also called the independent variable.A responding variable is the variable which you have to measure to get your results. So, you do not know the values of this variable until you measure it. This is also called the dependent variable.For example, to find out if your heart rate depends on exercise, you could do different amounts of exercise (the manipulated variable) and measure the heart rate (the responding variable).The above answer is well written, so I will just add a couple of examples.The standard linear equation is defined as 'y = mx + b'. y = 4x + 10, for example, could be charted on a Cartesian coordinates graph as a straight line that has a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of 10. In such linear equations, x would be described as the manipulated, or independent variable, while y would be the responding, or dependent variable.In another example suppose you are traveling in a car at 50 miles per hour. How far would you go if you traveled three hours? In this example, x would be the number of hours traveled, and y would be the total distance traveled in miles. The equation would be y = 50x. In this equation, x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable. By substituting 3 for x (because the question asked how far would you go in three hours), we can calculate that you would travel 150 miles. So the distance you travel (y) depends upon how long you traveled (x).
What units are used for rate of change?
Suppose Y is a variable which is dependent on another variable X. Then the units used for the rate of change in Y, with respect to X, will be the units of Y divided by the units of X. For example, if x is the length of a side of a cube (in cm), and Y is its volume (in cm3), then the rate of change of Y, with respect to X, is measures in cm3/cm.
