In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is manipulated by the experimenter in order to observe and measure how it affects the dependent variable. For example, an experiment in which the experimenter wants to observe and measure the effect of force on the acceleration of an object, force would be the independent variable and acceleration would be the dependent variable. The experimenter would apply different amounts of force to an object, and then observe and record the object's acceleration with each amount of force. On a graph, the independent variable would be on the x-axis, and the dependent variable would be on the y-axis.

What is the difference between a manipulated verible and a responding variable?
A manipulative variable is the variable you can alter, while the responding variable is the variable you have no control over. A manipulated variable is what is changed purposely throughout the experiment. The responding variable is which you have to measure to get your results I think. But the responding variable depends on the dependent variable. I believe I'm right!
Is the input variable a dependent or independent?
independent
Independent variable is known as?
The independent variable is the one that you change in an experiment. The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. You control the independent and observe the dependent.
