What is is an independent variable?
An independent variable is the variable that the scientist changes, and the dependent variables are the variables that the scientist doesn't control. So that would mean that the independent variable is typically the variable being manipulated or changed and the dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being manipulated. The independent variable in a science experiment is the variable that you change on purpose. The independent variable is the variable that scientists manipulate in an experiment in order to determine its effect on a dependent variable. For example, if you wanted to see what affected frog deformities, you would set up an experiment where you would have frogs placed in the same environments as each other, except for one variable (independent) that is different. Let's say the control group gets exposed to all the same food, temperature, length of daylight, population density, etc., as the experimental group. The experimental group has the amount of UV exposure varied. The UV exposure (independent variable) would be used to determine its effects on frog deformities (dependent variable).
What is the independent variable in physics?
Depending on the context, any variable can be independent (or dependent).
Definition of independent variable and dependat variable?
The independent variable is the variable which you change. It is not changed by any outside factors and so is independent of them.The dependent variable is the variable which is changed by the independent variable changing and which you measure. It is dependent on another variable.
How does the coordinates of a point relate to the dependent and independent variables of an equation?
If there is an independent variable, then it will be on the x-axis. Of course, there need not be any independent variable.
What is the independent variable in an experiment?
Independent variable is what you, the experimenter, change or enacts in order to do your experiment
