Ascientist who performs an experiment has no idea what the outcome of the experiment is going to be. true or false

An experiment is designed to test the relationship between the initial height of a basketball before it is dropped to the height of its rebound bounce. the height of the rebound bounce is measured using a scale positioned behind the ball. in the above experiment, which condition would not be controlled? a). the starting height of the ballb). the surface the ball bounces on c). the type of ball d). the method to measure the rebound height of the ball

Can anybody me with this? ? (picture included.)

Alead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5m above the water . it hits the water with a certain velocity and then sink with constant velocity in bottom . it reaches the bottom 5 second after it is dropped if g= 10m/s2 . find depth of the lake and average velocity of the ball ?
