Question
A student wishes to investigate how the amount of mass hung on a tight spring impacts its oscillation rate. Which one of the following represents possible dependent and independent variables for the investigation in this scenario?
DV = oscillation rate; IV = amount of mass hung
DV = tightness of the spring; IV = oscillation rate
DV = tightness of the spring; IV = amount of mass hung
DV = amount of mass hung; IV = oscillation rate
DV = oscillation rate; IV = tightness of the spring
1)DV = oscillation rate; IV = amount of mass hung
2)DV = tightness of the spring; IV = oscillation rate
3)DV = tightness of the spring; IV = amount of mass hung
4)DV = amount of mass hung; IV = oscillation rate
5)DV = oscillation rate; IV = tightness of the spring
Explanation / Answer
Since the student want to know oscillation rate of the spring depending upon the amount of mass hung to it, here dependent variable is oscillation rate and Independent variable is amount of mass hung.
Hence the answer is : DV = oscillation rate; IV = amount of mass hung
