Question

Asher is planning an experiment to find out how the height from which he drops the ball affects how high the ball bounces. The dependent variable is the _____.

  1. Diameter of the ball
  2. Force acting on the ball
  3. Height that the ball bounces
  4. Height from which the ball is dropped

hintHint:

In a given equation, the 2 variables viz. x & y can be bifurcated into Independent variable and dependent variable.
The independent variable can be referred to as the cause i.e. Its value is independent (does not change as per the other variables) of other variables. The dependent variable can be referred to as the effect. Its value depends on changes in the independent variable.
Generally, Independent variables are represented on the x-axis i.e. horizontal axis and Dependent variables are represented on the y-axis i.e. verticle axis.

The correct answer is: Height that the ball bounces


    GIVEN-
    Asher is planning an experiment to find out the relationship between-
    1. Height from which he drops the ball
    2. How high the ball bounces
    TO FIND-
    Dependent variable in the given scenario.
    SOLUTION-
    In the given scenario, we observe that the height till which the ball bounces back is measured.
    We know that height from which the ball dropped is a given criteria. i.e. it is the pre condition that is to be fulfilled at the beginning.
    However, how high the ball bounces will depend on the height from which it is dropped.
    Hence, "How high the ball bounces" is the dependent variable in this situation.
    FINAL ANSWER-
    Option 'c' i.e. 'Height that the ball bounces' is the correct answer to the given question.
