A baseball bat company is investigating how different wood types impact exit velocity of the ball once hit. They use the same baseball for each trial they run, but replace the type of wood each time. For each new type of wood they used, they run a new trial and record the baseball's exit velocity. Determine which variable is independent, dependent, and controlled.
Independent Variable: Type of wood
Dependent Variable: Exit Velocity
Controlled Variable: Type of baseball
