Dependent variable is usually speed.
It means that you can change one variable (the independent variable) freely, but that the other variable (the dependent variable) depends on the independent variable. For example, to calculate kinetic energy, the energy (for a given object) depends on the speed; if you change the speed, you change the kinetic energy. You can't change the kinetic energy directly, only indirectly by changing the speed.
The dependent variable is the variable that the researcher does not control. The researcher will change one variable called the independent variable (ex. temperature, amount of sunlight, amount of food, etc.) and then observe the corresponding dependent variable (ex. reaction of organism, amount of plant growth, swimming speed, etc.)
