The independent variable is mass. The dependent variable is the frictional force.
In a controlled experiment, the Independent variable refers to the variable that is manipulated or altered. The dependent variable, meanwhile, is the result of the experiment.
The controlled variable is the penny. The independent variable is the water. The dependent variable is the amount of water able to fit on the penny.
When you do an experiment the variable you control is the independent variable, and the variable you measure is the dependent variable. The independent variable is controlled by the experimenter; the dependent variable is measured. In this case, corporate social responsibility is the independent variable, and the others are dependent variables.
The independent variable is the thing you are changing/varying. The dependent variable is the thing you are measuring. This variable should be affected by the independent variable. Control variables are anything that must be kept constant. If there are any other factors which affect the dependent variable, then these need to be controlled so that they do not have any significant effect (basically ensuring that you are actually measuring the effects of the independent variable).
