∙ 7y agoAs long as you are only looking at sphere paintballs of .68 caliber the only real variable is exit velocity. As far as the sport is concerned exit velocity is determined by the field for safety reasons (and should NEVER exceed 300fps). While an argument can be made for adding backspin to the ball which will allow the paintball to travel further, in the sport the paint looses speed as it flies so even thought the ball is still in the air, it will not have enough energy to break on a player at the added distance. There is no type of marker that will shoot any further than any other marker since the exit velocity will be identical for each regardless of barrel length or any other factors.

You are testing the independent variable. The dependent variable is the one being measured.
Dependent variable is your data, independent variable is what you are testing. Ex. Sunlight would be the independent variable and a plants growth would be the dependent variable.
The variable that the researcher intentionally changes in a scientific experiment is called the independent variable. This variable is manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
The dependent variable is what the results yielded. For example, if you are testing humans, the dependent variable will be the test subject's answers. Some people also say it is what you are testing for if it is not testing on humans. For example, "the differences in growths of bacteria".
In an experiment, the independent variable is altered, and the effect observed is the dependent variable, or outcome. The controlled variable is intended to be kept the same throughout the experiment so that changes in it do not affect the results.
The dependent variable in this experiment would be the type of paintball marker. You must make sure you keep the other variables constant. Meaning using the exact same barrel, propellant and paintball types. If you use different setups on each, you have not proven that the marker itself was the key determining factor.

The independent variable in any item that is changed during a scientific experiment. The dependent variable is the object being tested. In an experiment testing the buoyancy of wood in different solutions, the different solutions would be the independent variable.
It can be, it depends on your experiment. Independent variables are the variables in an experiment that will not change. If you want to do an experiment that tests how something reacts with water, then starting with a clean controlled water sample for each test would be necessary and an independent variable. Conversely, if you were testing the cleanliness of multiple water sources, then the ideology of clean water would be your dependent variable, which would change upon each testing. WIth your given information I cannot say whether or not you would want water to be either a dependent or an independent variable for your experiment.
A dependent variable is the outcome or response that is measured in an experiment or study. It is the variable that is affected by changes in other variables, known as independent variables. The dependent variable is what researchers are trying to understand or predict.

Temperature can be both an independent variable, where it is manipulated to observe its effect on other variables, or a dependent variable, where it is measured as an outcome of other factors. The role of temperature as a dependent variable or independent variable depends on the specific research context.
