the dependent variable
In science, the dependent variable is what is being tested in the experiment. It changes as the independent variable changes, because it depends on the independent variable. The experiment can measure changes in the dependent variable through controlling the independent variable.
A dependent variable is something that depends on other factors. It is what gets measured and what is affected during an experiment. Without an independent variable there can be no dependent variable.
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.
The dependent variable in a scientific experiment refers to the variable that is being measured or observed to determine the effect or relationship with the independent variable. It is called "dependent" because its value is believed to depend on the changes made to the independent variable.
The dependent variable is affected by the independent variable. Is that what you were looking for?
The dependant variable is affected by the independent variable
An independent variable is a variable that isn't affected by something else. A dependent variable is a variable that's affected by changes in the independent variable.
An independent variable is not affected by the change of another independent variable. To make an experiment, you generally try to change each independent variable in its turn, leaving other independent variables constant, getting the result (the dependent variable) which was chosen. The results can be exhibited as graphs, where the independent variable serves as abscissa or a parameter, or tables

the dependent variable
An independent variable is a variable which, in the context of the experiment or the observations, can affect the dependent variable but is not affected by it. By contrast, the dependent variable is affected by changes in the independent variable. It is quite possible that there is no independent variable, as such, and each variable affects the other.
The Dependent Variable

When a variable is directly influenced by another variable it is known as a dependent variable. Conversely, a variable that isn't directly affected by another variable is known as a independent variable.
