Question

responding (result) variable *
constant
dependent
independent
regulatory

variable kept the same while other variables change *
constant
dependent
independent
x - axis

total path an object travels *
displacement
distance
velocity
time

Explanation:

• For the first question, the responding (result) variable is the dependent variable. In an experiment, the dependent variable is the one that is measured and changes in response to the independent variable.
• For the second question, a variable kept the same while other variables change is a constant. Constants are controlled in experiments to ensure a fair test.
• For the third question, the total path an object travels is distance. Displacement is the straight - line distance from the start to the end point, velocity is the rate of change of displacement, and time is a separate quantity.

Answer:

1. B. dependent
2. A. constant
3. B. distance
