speed of car effects stopping distance

number of people in family effects food

its like a story question that says a car is travleing south, how long will it take to come to a complete stop? the stoping distance depends on the speed of the vehicle to be able to determine. so independent= tree age and dependent= average hight. because you would need to know the age of a tree to know its average hight at that age. i hope i didnt confuse you too much.

You can determine how many hours you study, but you can’t pick your test score.

A tree’s age affects it’s height (more age, more height), but the trees height does not determine it’s age (you can’t trim the tree to make it younger).

Is the population of a city determined by the number of schools needed, no.

Remember, the result (tree height, test score, schools needed) is the dependent variable.

For example:

As a tree gets older, essentially, it will get taller. The age of the tree is the independent variable, because it gets older on its own.

The dependent variable, however, is the height of the tree. A tree cannot start out at ten feet tall. It takes time to grow from a seed to this height, right? So, the height of the tree is dependent on the age.

Make sense?

Email me if you need more help, and I can try to explain it better.

Tree Age | Average Tree Height

Independent = Age

Dependent = Height

The temperature depends (is dependent) on the total hours of heating.

The stopping distance depends on the speed of car.

Cost per week depends on number of people.

Average height depends on tree age.

So does the test score depend on hours of studying OR hours of studying depends on the test score.

Does the population of a city depend on the number of schools needed OR does the number of schools needed depend on the population?

Tree Age | Average Tree Height

Independent = tree age

Dependent = average tree height

Test Score | Number of hours studying for a test

Independent = number of hours studying for a test

Dependent =test score

Population of a city | Number of schools needed

Independent = population of a city

Dependent = number of schools needed

Dependent is the output; what comes out.
