1. The only measurement with zeros that are not significant is 0.0053m; the zeros are used solely to
locate the decimal point. In all the other measurements, the zeros after the decimal point are
significant
2. The independent variable is a manipulated variable. It is graphed on the x-axis. A dependent
variable changes due to a change in the independent variable. It is plotted on the y-axis
