What is the dependent and independent variable according to this question?

and thanks %26lt;3 (:What is the Dependent and independent variable in this case?
Distance will depend on what material is used, so distance the ball goes is the dependent variable. The independent variable is the type of material constituting the bat.

Other things to consider: type of material may also be considered the manipulated variable. Controlled variables might be things such making sure bat weights and lengths are the same, the same ball is used for each hit...and various other things that you maintain constant.What is the Dependent and independent variable in this case?
dependent is how far you hit

independent is bat
