Dory set up an experiment to see how the mass of a ball affects the distance it rolls off a ramp. What is the dependent variable?
A
distance traveled by the ball
B
height of the ramp
C
mass of the ball
D
ball type
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. The distance it rolls off the ramp. The dependent variable is the one that changes depending on the independent variable. In this case the independent variable is the mass of the ball, and how far the ball rolls would change depending on it’s mass.

Detailed explanation-2: -An independent variable is the variable you manipulate, control, or vary in an experimental study to explore its effects. It’s called “independent” because it’s not influenced by any other variables in the study. Independent variables are also called: Explanatory variables (they explain an event or outcome)

Detailed explanation-3: -The independent variable is the condition that is changed to test the hypothesis while the dependent variable is the that is measured as the result of the changes in the dependent variable.
