6th prd. Assignment - 9/10
At this point in our class, we have been using time as our independent (x-axis) variable - everything has been dependent on time (ex: the distance traveled depended on the time; as time went on, our distance increased). The graph below shows the results of an experiment conducted to see the relationship of 'dissolve time' and 'temperature' of salt in water. This graph now shows time on the y-axis, which indicates that it is our dependent variable. Is this possible? Explain.

Yes, this is possible because the DISSOLVE TIME depends on the temperature. So if you were dissolving salt in cold water it would take a long time.If you were dissolving salt in hot water it would dissolve quickly.So the temperature is independent since it is not going to change but the time will since you are working with differnt temperatures.
:) hopes this helps
Yes it is possible to have time on the y-axis because it is the dissolving time of the salt. The dissolving of the salt depends on the temperature. If the temperature increases the salt dissolves faster. If the temperature decreases the salt will dissolves slower. So that’s why when the temperature raises the dissolving time increases. Also it wouldn't be right if the temperature rises because the salt dissolves.
Yes, it is possible to put dissolve time on the y axis that is the dependent variable.The reason being as the temperature increaces the dissloving time decreases and vice versa. Therefore, dissolving time is the dependent variable.
Yes, this is possible to have the time on the y-axis because the dessolve time depends on the temperature. The desolve time is the dependent because it depends on the temperature,and because it is the dependent variable it goes on the y-axis.
Yes, it is possible to have time on the y-axis, because as temperature increases, so does the speed of the dissolving water. If the temperature decreases, so does the speed of the dissolving water. So, it is possible to have time as the dependent variable.
Yes, it is possible because the time is always gonna be there and it never can stop. But the temperature is what the experiment is all about so that’s why the “temperature” is on the x-axis (which is the independent variable) and the “Time” is on the y-axis (which is the dependent variable). The temperature is on the independent variable because it depends on the time.
Yes, this is possible. The reason is because that the dissolving time depends on what temperature the salt is dissolving into. For example, if you are trying to dissolve salt into hot water it would take less time. One the other hand, if you were trying to dissolve salt in cold water, it would take longer.
Yes it is possible because the dissolve time depends on the tempature.When the tempature increacres it boils faster cause its hotter.
The time is the dependent variable is because; the time depends on when the salt water dissolves. Dissolve time depends on the Temperature. It is like that because, when you put salt in cold water to let it dissolve it doesn’t dissolve as fast as it would in hot water. So the temperature is independent because, Time does not affect the temperature in which the salt water dissolves in.
It is possible to have time on the y-axis because the dissolve time depends on the temperature. If the water was cold then it would take longer for the salt to dissolve then if the water was hot. In hot water it would dissolve the salt quickly. That is why time is the dependent variable rather than the independent variable.
yes, it is p[possible to put the DISSOLVE TIME on the y axis. the reason being as the temperature of the water increases the DISSOLVE TIME decreases, because. it takes longer to dissolve salt in cold water than it is hotter. so yes it is possible to put the dissolve time on the y axis as the dependant variable.
The salt will dissolve faster if in warm water rather than cold, so it would make sense if the dissolve time was on the y-axis. so yes, i think is possible
This is possible to have the time on your y-axis because like in this situation, the change in temperature would affect how the long it took for the salt to dissolve. If the salt were to dissolve in hot water it would be a lot faster. If the salt was to dissolve in cold water then it would take a longer time to dissolve. When you think about the variables you would think that the time automatically goes on the x-axis because it is independent and nothing can change time. But if it were in this situation it would go on the y-axis because it is how long it takes to salt to dissolve indifferent temperature of water.
Yes, it is possible for the dissolve time to be on the Y-axis or the Dependent variable. The reason it's possible is because the dissolve time depends on the temperature. If the tempurature is hot than the salt will dissolve faster, and if the tempurature is cooler than the salt will dissolve slower.
Yes, because in this graph they are showing how long it takes for salt to dissolve in water at different temperatures. Since in this investigation you’re finding how long it takes for salt to dissolve in water at different temperatures you’d put temperature as your independent variable because the dissolve time depends on how high or low the temperature is. So the graph does make sense because the dissolve time depends on how high or low the temperature is.
Yes, it is possible for the dissolve time to be on the y-axis. It is possible because the dissolve time depends on the temperature. When the temperature is hot then the salt will dissolve faster, and when the temperature is cold the salt will dissolve slower. Therefore it makes more sense to make the dissolve time the Dependent variable, and the temperature the Independent variable.
Yes it is posible because the time it takes for the water to disolve depends on the tempature. Say you were trying to boil water at three difern't tempature's cold water,room tempature,and hot water it would take a while to boil cold water, a little shorter time for room tempature and realy guick for hot water. Since the tempature isn't going to change but time will because you are working with three defern't tempature's.
This is very possible. The graph is based off an experiment that uses dissolve time. The dissolve time changes based upon the temperature making it a depending variable . For example if the temperature of the water is low the dissolve time is very high. When the temperature rises the dissolve time falls. So, the time , or dissolve time changes , or is dependent upon , the temperature.
Yes, this is possible for the dissolve time to be on the y-axis. This is possible because the graph is showing dissolve time and not time as in the day goes on time. This is different because the temperature outside could be 95 degrees and the salt water dissolve quickly with out depending on time. But yet the dissolving time depends on the temperature outside. So yes this graph makes sense!
Yes, it is possible for the “dissolve time” to be the dependent variable shown on the y-axis. This graph shows the dissolving time depends on the temperature. The hotter the temperature, the quicker the salt dissolves. The colder the temperature, the slower the salt dissolves.
It is, in fact possible for the time to be the dependent variable in this test. This is because the time of the dissolve is dependent on the temperature of the water. The time that is being used in the experiment is like a stopwatch time; it CAN be stopped and started on command, unlike real time which keeps going and never stops no matter how hard you try. In other words, when they say time in this experiment is not really time, as in space time. It’s time as in ”stopwatch” time.
Yes it is possible because we are not using time in this case to change dissolve time. We are timing how long it takes to dissolve. Like aar6027 had said, we are using time like a stop watch instead of using universial time.
Yes it is possible to have Time on the y axis because the speed of the dissolving water would depend on the tempature increasing or decreasing. So yes it is possible to have time as the y axis
Yes, it is possible for desolve time to go on the Y axis because desolve time depends on the temperature.

Yes, it is possible to put dissolve time on the Y-axis because it depends on the temperature. For example, if the temperature rises, the salt will dissolve faster. And if the temperature is cooler, the salt will dissolve slower. So, therefore, you can put dissolve time on the Y-axis if it depends on the independent variable.
Yes, it is possible for desolve time to go on the Y axis because desolve time depends on the temperature.
Yes it is possible for time to go on the y-axis ,because it is not just time it’s time it takes for the salt to dissolve and that depends on the temperature of the water not the other way around.
Yes it is possible for time to go on the y-axis ,because it does not mainly matter on the time it takes for the salt to dissolve but it also depends on the temperature of the water.
