Answer:

The length of the ramp, the speed and weight of a ball

Step-by-step explanation:

A controlled experiment needs to be done with constant values and one variable value. According to this experiment, the only variable value is the angle of the incline. And the student must hold constant the length of the ramp where each ball rolls. The ball speed and its weight.

By doing this, He can determine how far a ball rolls over the same length ramp, depending on the variable angle of the incline.
