Lincoln Haney · Answer 1

The distance the marble rolls after the ramp

Explanation:

because of the place and directions and the floor place.

The physics project on which Fernanda is working is the rolling a marble down a ramp and observing the distance marble would roll along the floor after leaving the ramp.

Each experiment has an independent and a dependent variable. Independent variable is one whose change is not controlled by the change in another variable or factor. Dependent variable is the one which is measured or determined in any experiment, it varies depending on the changes in independent variable.

In the given experiment, the dependent variable is distance the marble rolls after leaving the ramp as the distance marble rolls depends on the angle at which marble is released on the floor or the material with which the marble is made or the size of the marble. So the independent variable can be any of those, angle at which marble is released on the floor or the material with which the marble is made or the size of the marble.
