What is the independent variable when graphing the density of a solid?
Mass is the independent variable and should be plotted on the x-axis.
What does independent variable and dependent variable mean?
The independent variable is the variable that the scientist controls and can change in an experiment. There should be only one independent variable in an experiment; otherwise the cause-and-effect of the independent variable cannot be determined.The dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the independent variable.EXAMPLE:Students of the same age have been given different sleeping hours (the independent variable)The next day they are tested for their performance (the dependent variable).(Having students the same age is a third type of variable, called the constant variable or the control variable. It is deliberately kept the same to reduce any effects on the outcome.)
What are the independent dependent and control variables?
The independent variable is the thing you are changing/varying. The dependent variable is the thing you are measuring. This variable should be affected by the independent variable. Control variables are anything that must be kept constant. If there are any other factors which affect the dependent variable, then these need to be controlled so that they do not have any significant effect (basically ensuring that you are actually measuring the effects of the independent variable).
When the chemist designs his experiment what should be the only independent variable?
temperature
What isindependent variable in science?
An independent variable is the one that when plotted should go on the x-axis. The independent variable, as the name suggests, is not dependent on anything; if you're conducting an experiment, it would be the variable that you have control over to affect the results.
