Rashawn wants to test if the mass of a ball influences how far he can throw it.

What is the independent variable?
What is the dependent variable?
List three things Rashawn should keep constant.

1 answer

In Rashawn's experiment to test if the mass of a ball influences how far he can throw it:

  1. Independent Variable: The mass of the ball (different weights of the balls he is throwing).

  2. Dependent Variable: The distance the ball is thrown (how far the ball travels).

  3. Three things Rashawn should keep constant:

    • The throwing technique (how he throws the ball, e.g., angle of release, force applied).
    • The type of ball (ensuring they are all similar in design and material, aside from their mass).
    • Environmental conditions (such as wind speed, temperature, and surface conditions where he is throwing).
