Science Review

Bruce thinks that a rough surface has more friction than a smooth surface. He tests this by rolling spheres across surfaces, measuring the distance they travel after being pushed by a certain amount of force. What is the Independent Variable?

• Different types of spheres
• Different amounts of force
• Different textured surfaces
• Different angle of the ramp
