1physics question - dependent and independent variables. will give !

i have an experiment in physics class that i am having trouble with. basically, we have to observe the temperature of three different cups of water over time by pouting hot/cold water in the cups at different times. one of the questions on my report is "which variable did you choose for the independent variable? which variable did you choose for the dependent variable? explain.". what would my dependent and independent variable be in this case? can anyone explain? !

The dependant variable is obvrioulsy going to be the temperature of the watch, and the independan variable is going to be the amount of water ebing poured into the cups.

Explanation:

The temperature is the dependant variable by how it is the thing being observed, or recorded. Your independant variables could be a few things from wha information I have but it could be either, the amount of water being poured into the cups, the temperature of the water being poured, or the amount of time between each new temperature of wather bing poured into the cups.

your answer is c! hope this : )
