Revolt · Accepted Answer

✔ independent; To run the simulation, you will alter mass in creating momentum of the carts. The total mass of the carts in the collision is the variable.: independent; The velocity of the combined carts after the collision will change because of the change in the independent variable. In this way, the final velocity is the variable.: dependent
