Question

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence. To run the simulation, you will alter mass in creating momentum of the carts. The total mass of the carts in the collision is the ____ variable. The velocity of the combined carts after the collision will change because of the change in the independent variable. In this way, the final velocity is the ____ variable.
1 answers: independent, dependent, constant
2 answers: independent, dependent, constant

Answer 1

The total mass of the carts in the collision is the independent variable and the final velocity is a dependent variable.

•  A variable that does not depend on another variable for its value is called an independent variable.
• Like the change in mass of cart will impact the momentum of the car but the mass will not get impacted by the change in the momentum.
• The variable which is tested or measured by conducting an experiment is called the dependent variable.
• The dependent variable value depends upon the independent variable.
• Like final velocity of the cart will get impacted after the collision as the mass of carts after collision will get reduced.
• A variable which constant throughout the course of an experiment is called the control variable.

So, from this, we can conclude that the total mass of the carts in the collision is the independent variable and the final velocity is a dependent variable.
