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.
Any variable can be the independent variable. It depends partly on what the dependent variable is, partly on the relationship you are examining. For example, if looking at age and length of children's feet, foot length would be considered the dependent variable. But if looking at foot length and shoe size, then foot length would be the independent variable.
The independent variable.
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.

The independent variable is the thing in the expeirment that you purposly change. If I took different sizes of paper airplanes and counducted an expieremnt to see which one went the farthest, the size of the airplanes would be the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE while the distance of flight would be the RESPNDING VARIABLE P.S- there can only be one independent variable in a controlled expierement.

Changes in the independent variable are independent of changes in any other variable,

The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
The ball is the independent variable in this scenario as we can manipulate or change its properties (such as mass, size, material) to observe how it affects the motion down the ramp, which is the dependent variable.
