1. For this experiment, the independent variable is the resistance of the spring. The dependent variable is the speed of the car. The constants in this experiment include: the total weight of the remote control car, the type of battery used and the total distance of the race course. 2. The car will run 3 different courses – a straight course, a clockwise course and a counter-clockwise course. 3. All 3 courses should cover the same distance. So, the car will run along the straight course once and 4 times around the circular course, first in a clockwise direction, ..... |
