4th prd. Assignment - 9/10
At this point in our class, we have been using time as our independent (x-axis) variable - everything has been dependent on time (ex: the distance traveled depended on the time; as time went on, our distance increased). The graph below shows the results of an experiment conducted to see the relationship of 'dissolve time' and 'temperature' of salt in water. This graph now shows time on the y-axis, which indicates that it is our dependent variable. Is this possible? Explain.

Yes this is possible because the temperature is the thing being changed which is the independent variable and the dissolve time is the thing staying the same, making it the dependent variable.
ReplyDeleteYes, This is possible because the temperature is the independent variable since it is on the X-Axis and is not depending on anything for it to change. The dissolve time is depending on the temperature to change so it is the dependent variable. For example, as the temperature increases, the dissolve time decreases.
ReplyDeleteYes the temperature is changing over time and that is the dependent variable, the independent variable is the dissolve rate because you cannot change time. The temperature is dependent on the dissolve rate because, it could dissolve faster in cold water rather in hot water.

Yes, it is possible because, the time depends on the temperature of the salt water that makes time your dependent variable which is always on the y-axis.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is possible because the time in this experiment can be changed. The time depends on the temperature which means it dependent which makes time go on the y-axis. Since the temperature doesn’t depend on anything, (independent variable) then it goes on the y-axis.
ReplyDeleteYes it is possible because the time depends on the temperature of the salt water.
ReplyDeleteSo time is your dependent variable which goes on the y-axis not the x-axis. Normally time will go on the x-axis but in this case time depends on the temperature of the water.
Yes this is possible because the the tempature which is on the x axis is the variable u are not depending on to change. The time which is on the y axis is not being changed. The time which is on the y axis is depending on the tempature to change so the tempature increases the time deacreases. The independent variable is the tempature that is not changing, and the time is waiting for the tempature to increase so it can deacreas.
ReplyDeleteYes this is possible because you are changing the water tempter not the dissolve time. There for the temp becomes the independent variable and the dissolve time becomes the dependent variable.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible because you are raising the temperature and seeing how long it takes to dissolve and you are seeing how long it takes to dissolve. So the temperature is the independent because we change it and the time is dependent because we don’t have a specific time.
ReplyDeleteYes this is possible! This is because the time is changing but the temperature doesn’t change therefore making time the dependent variable and the temperature the independent variable. For example, when the temperature increases the dissolve time decreases. The dissolve time is depending on the temperature to change it therefore making it the “dependent variable”
ReplyDeleteYes it can time can be dependent on the temperature of the water. When you time how long it takes the salt to dissolve in the water. The time depends on the temperature of the water. The temperature of the water makes the salt dissolve differently. If the water is hot it may or may not dissolve quickly. If it is cold than it may or may not dissolve quickly. Time can depend on the temperature of the water.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible because when you change the temperature of the water to a lower or higher temp then you change your dissolve time because hotter water might dissolve it faster than colder water.
ReplyDeleteYes, because in all the other experiments the dependent variable reacted to time but now the amount of time is affected by how hot or cold the temperature is.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is possible because now we have the tempature involved wich is on the x-axis because its an independent variable that dosent depend on anything else. In this situation, the time that it takes for something to dissolve does depend on the tempature because the tempature may change how quickly the object dissolves. The time is the dependent variable and it will go on the y-axis , only in these types of situations.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible that the time in this experiment will go on the y axis becuase the dissolving time depends on the temperature of the salt water therefore since the time is depending on the temperature of the salt water, the dissolving time will go on the y axis.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible that the time can be dependent and therefor on the y axis, because it is depending on the temperature of the water to dissolve the salt. The temperature go's on the x axis because it does not rely on anything.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is possible because the temperature is changing over time, which makes this the dependant variable. The time is the independent variable, and the temperature is the dependant variable. Usually, the time would go onto the X axis but in this case it would be the temperature because the time is depending on the temperature.
ReplyDeleteThe reason you put the temperature on the x axis is because the higher the temperature, the faster the salt in the water dissolves. The dissolve time for the salt depends on the temperature of the water.
ReplyDeleteI would say yes because in science you can put the temperature on the x-axis and time on the y-axis.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is possible, because the time depends on the temperature. You usually see time on the x- axis and on this experiment you would put time on the y –axis and temperature on the x- axis.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible the time is the dependent variable y-axis and the temp. Is the independent variable which is on the x-axis. So that means the time depends on the temp. of the water for it to dissolve.
ReplyDeleteYes,it is possible because the amount of time which is on the y-axis depends on the temperature which is on the x-axis. So temperature changes over timeand with out time it wouldnt change.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible because, the time depends on the temperature of the water and this makes time your dependent variable which is always on the y-axis.
ReplyDeleteYes, because while the temperature is changing the dissolve time is changing, and the temperature is the independent variable. Then the dissolving time is the dependent variable, and the dissolving is depending on the temperature. While the temperature goes up the dissolve time goes down.
