Use the following experiment to answer questions 2-4.

You watch a youtube video showing a motorcycle ripping a table cloth out from under a fully set table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAXy1ur9QQc You believe this is a hoax, so you set up an experiment. In this experiment you set a table, then tie the tablecloth to a rope, attached to the back of your motorcycle. You take off on the motorcycle at top speed. The table setting is completely destroyed as it falls all over the floor. You confirm your hypothesis that the video is a hoax.

2. The independent variable is:
The motorcycle stunt / The youtube video
The destruction of the table setting / The motorcycle
3. The dependent variable:
The motorcycle stunt / The youtube video
The destruction of the table setting / The motorcycle
4. A control variable is:
The motorcycle stunt / The youtube video
The destruction of the table setting / The motorcycle

Critical Thinking: Respond in a minimum of 3 sentences each or a well-designed sketch (color not necessary).
