Question

A student conducts an experiment to test how the temperature of a ball affects its bounce height. The same ball is used for each test, and the ball is dropped from the same height each time.

What is the dependent variable?

Responses

the temperature of the ball
the temperature of the ball

the bounce height of the ball
the bounce height of the ball

the drop height of the ball
the drop height of the ball

the type of ball
the type of ball

Answer 1

The dependent variable is **the bounce height of the ball**. This is the variable that is being measured and is expected to change in response to variations in the independent variable, which in this case is the temperature of the ball.
