Question
ms. sutton sets up an experiment to see how the mass of a ball affects the distance it rolls off a ramp. identify the dependent variable. color of the ball height of the ramp distance traveled by the ball mass of the ball
A dependent variable is the measured outcome that changes in response to the independent variable. Here, the experiment tests how ball mass (independent variable) impacts the distance the ball rolls, so this distance is the dependent variable. The ramp height is a controlled variable, ball color is irrelevant, and ball mass is the independent variable.
