Explain Why is time an independent variable and position is a dependent variable in a position versus time graph?

Time is an independent variable because it is affected only by when you decide to stop to read its position (not affected by the position). However, time is a dependent variable since the time you record it affects its result. In simpler terms, independent variable is something you can change to alter the dependent variable. You can change the time (0s to 15s etc.) but you cannot change the position.

explain your project

displacement is 0 because the initial position is same.

Explain how inertia affects the passengers when a bus starts suddenly?
Inertia affects passengers on a bus when it starts suddenly by giving them a jolt and causing the passengers to move forward or backward depending on the buses position.
Why is energy so difficult to explain?
its realy hard to explain
Where are the dependent and independent variables located on a graph explain with example?
The independent variable (such as time) is places on the x-axis of a graph. Always place the things that will never change on the x-axis. The dependent variable is then placed on the y-axis. The difference between the independent and dependent variable is that the independent variable in an experient does not change it is what stays constent, it is what is used to measure the dependent variable. On the other hand the dependent variable is what the experiment is testing for and what depends on the independent variable.
What is dependent variable mean in science?
responding variable
Explain development as a dependent variable?
explain development, i need it for homework
Can you explain independent variable?
In a scientific experiment there are different variables. Variables being the factors that you can alter to obtain your results. The independent variable is the factor that you directly alter and the dependent variable is the one that is affected by this. E.g. You pull a cart over 1m and measure the time taken. The force you exert is the independent variable as you are controlling it and time is the dependent variable because it is the variable that is affected by the force you exert. Like if you pulled it really hard the time taken would be really short, and if you pulled it gently the time taken would be really long, etc.
What are Explanatory variable?
Explanatory (or predictor) variable: A variable which is used in a relationship to explain or to predict changes in the values of another variable; the latter called the dependent variable.
Can someone explain dependent variable independent variable and controlled experiment in Kindergarten terms?
controlled experiment is a serious study of what happens everything is set up "right".independent variable is what starts a change.dependent variable is what changed after something started it.kindergartners have no sense of time, so don't bother explaining time derivatives to them..------Independant variable means what changes. Dependant variable means measurement. Controlled variable means what stays the same. (science)
What is the difference between simple and multiple linear regression?
I want to develop a regression model for predicting YardsAllowed as a function of Takeaways, and I need to explain the statistical signifance of the model.
Can you explain a independent variable?
Independent variables do not depend on any other. Like when you count something with time, the time is independent. If you measure the elevation of a road with distance, the distance is independent.
A person weighs 100 pounds and earth weighs 16.6lb on the moon which variable is the independence variable explain why?
The independent variable is the person's mass, since the mass of an object is constant regardless of gravitational force.
How do you explain the law of variable proportion?

Explain why density is a size independent property how does it differ from a size dependent property?
Size independent property is physical properties that do not change when an object changes. Size dependent is physical properties that change when the size of an object changes.
Why can Biology be described as having both a vertical and a horizontal scale explain what that means?
Almost everything in Biology can be explained or represented on a scale or graph; the graphs use to represent data have two axes. The horizontal axis is called the X axis or the abscissa. The vertical axis is called the Y axis or the ordinate. The values of the independent variable are measured on the X axis and those of the dependent variable are on the Y axis. There are three types of graphs that you can use, two for use when the independent variable is quantitative (numeric form)and one for use when it is qualitative data (written form).
