Harry and Ron are arguing over which broom has better acceleration, the Nimbus 2000 or the Firebolt. The boys are going to race the two brooms from the ground to the top of the goals. Then they will switch brooms and replicate their trials. Test (independent) Variable:

Result (dependent) Variable:

Control Variables:

Define Replicate:

Independent variable: BROOM

Dependent variable: ACCELERATION

Control variable: same distance

Find the definition of replicate below

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated by the experimenter. In this case, the independent variable is the BROOM.

The dependent variable is the variable that is measured in an experiment. It is the variable that responds to the independent variable. The ACCELERATION is the dependent variable in this case.

The control variable is the variable that is kept constant or unchanged throughout the experiment. In this case, the control variable is the SAME DISTANCE traveled for each broom.

A replicate is a repeated experiment with the expectance of a similar or consistent result. In this case, if the brooms are switched, the acceleration of each broom should be the same in the replicate result.
