7th 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 time is not always the independent variable. Time is always the independent variable when ur working with time and distance. Since we are talking about disolve time the temp would be the independent because it is what stays the same.
ReplyDeleteYes it is possible because you could put the temperature on the y-axis and the dissolve time on the x-axis, the graph would go a different way but it is still the same data. The graph looks like it’s going toward the negatives but it would depend on where the intervals were put on the graph. The dissolve time will always stay the same because you cannot back tract time.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is possible,because time doesnt always have to be the independent variable.Because in this experiment there not using distance and time, it works for this experiment. Because if your tempature goes up your salt will disolve faster so this graph works!
ReplyDeleteyes this is possible because time only has to be the independent variable when its showing distance and time. in this case, there working with dissolving so its temperature and time so the time depends on the temperature therefore it is the DEPENDent variable. temp would be the independent cause we change it purposely.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a posible graph because the independant is time. The graph looks like it has bean flipped. The yaxis is soposed to be temprature and xaxis time.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is possible to have time as the independent variable. Time is not always being depended on. When you have time on the y axis it can be depending on on temperature.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible to have time on the y- axis because when you are experimenting on how long it takes for the salt to dissolve in water; the time it takes all DEPENDS on the temperature of the water. If the water is colder then it will take longer for the salt to dissolve, but if the water is warmer it will take less time to dissolve.
ReplyDeleteThis problem is possible, the amount of time for the salt to dissolve is dependent on the temperature of the water, so the time will now be on the y-axis (vertical line) and the temperature will be the independent variable on the x-axis (horizontal line). As the temperature changes the amount of time necessary for the salt to dissolve will change, the higher the temperature of the water the faster the salt will dissolve. The main thing is that the time depends on the temperature for how long it would take for the salt to dissolve; the time is going to vary on the temperature in this case.
ReplyDeleteyes because usually in graphs we do time on the independent variable, but since this is about the dissolve time and temperature its pretty reasonable that the time would be on the dependent variable.
ReplyDeleteThe anwser is yes this possible, because the temperature states how long it takes the substance to dissolve. Time is totally dependent on temperature, because time isn't the variable that controls the experiment.
ReplyDeleteThe reason that time is on the y-axis and the temperature is on the x-axis is because time is the variable that changes. Also temperature is on the x-axis because in this situation, you are trying to see the dissolving time for a specific temperature. Another reason why is because temperature is depending on time to change. If they were flipped the graph would look out of order.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, it is okay for time to be on the y-axis because it is the dependent variable (the variable that changes). When dealing with time and distance, time would usually be the independent variable, because time is what changes the distance. But since we are dealing with time and temperature, the temperature is what is changing the time.
ReplyDeleteTime is on the y-axis since you do not change it. Then the tempature is on the x-axis since it is what you change. Since you change the tempature it goes on the x-axis. Since tempature changes over time the time variable goes on the y-axis. Since time keeps going on it is going on the y-axis since you change the tempature it goes on the x-axis.
ReplyDeleteYes it is possible because temperature can be on y-axis and dissolve time can be the x-axis. It might look different but it well still has the same data. It looks like it is going towards the negatives but it depends on were put the intervals. Dissolve time u cannot change because you can’t back track time.
ReplyDeleteNo, the time cannot go into the y-axis, because time cannot be changed/altered. Temperature, however, can. Temperature goes into the y-axis because it can be manipulated and it changes.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible because if even if you put the tempature on the y-axis and you put the time on the x-axis, all of your data would still be correct. Therefore even if you change the graph settings all of the data would still be the same and it would also be accurate. Althought the technicaly the graph will look different because you are flipping the graphing around when you put the tempature on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis. Also time does not always have to be the independent variable. In this case the tempature is the fator that varies, so the tempature is the independent variable and the dependent variable is the time.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Mrs.Ryon This is Mio Yamada. I am using my other gmail account like we talked about.
yes this is possible because if you put the temptcher on the y axes and then put the dissolve time on the x axes the ansewr wood still be right be cus as the tepcher incres the dissove time dus too.
ReplyDeleteyes this is possible because time only has to be the independent variable when its distance and time. now there working with dissolving so its temperature and time and the time depends on the temperature so it is the dependant variable. temperature would be the independent variable cause we can change it by ourself
ReplyDeleteyes, this is possible because in this case we are talking about time and temperature instead of time and distance. so time could be on the y-axis and temp could be on the x-axis because the temperature is the independant variable and stays the same.
ReplyDeleteYes,this is possable for the tempiture increases at a constent rate(X-Axis/independent). While the dissolve time will change and then doing the experament over and over, a little change will occur (Y-Axis/dependent).
ReplyDeleteYes its possible time is a always the independent variable. This graph is right and it works like its true. The hotter the water the faster the dissolve time will be .
