Question

6. A student notices that when a weight is hung on a spring, the spring stretches. She decides conduct an experiment to determine the relationship between the amount of weight

placed on a spring and the distance the spring stretches. She has five different weights: 25 9,50 9.75 9, 1009, and 125 g. She selects a weight, hangs it on the spring, and
measures how far the spring stretches
What is the dependent variable in this experiment?
O weight hung from the spring
O temperature of the spring
length of unstretched spring
distance the spring stretches

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

She says that the object of the experiment is to see how far the string stretches given a mass attached to the string.

The only thing that is at issue is either the mass or the amount the string stretches.

Nothing else matters.

The dependent variable therefore is the amount the string stretches. So the last choice is the answer.
