A student wants to design an experiment to answer the question, "How does particle size affect the rate at which particles settle out of water to form sediment on the bottom of a container?" What will be the dependent variable in the student's experiment?

The time it takes particles to form sediment on the bottom of a containers

Explanation:

The dependent variable would be the time it takes different particle sizes to settle out of water in order to form sediment on the bottom of containers.

The dependent variable is an experimental variable whose value varies according to the independent variable supplied by the researcher during the course of an experiment. The value either increases or decreases with each value of the independent variable.

In order to answer the question in the illustration, different particle sizes would have to be supplied by the student as an input - the independent variable - and the time it takes for each particle size to settle and form sediment recorded - the dependent variable.

osteogenesis imperfecta (oi) refers to a congenital ailment of bones. in the condition, the bones become brittle or fragile. this ailment is a general result of the defect or mutations in the genes (colia1 or colia2). this mutation results in imperfect collagen formation either in quantity or quality wise.  

there are eight kinds of oi defects, and each kind varies with certain distinctions in symptoms. the usual symptoms include frequent bone fractures, loss of hearing in infants, protruding eyes, discoloration of the white in the eyes, respiratory issues, loosening of the joints, short stature, and other symptoms.
