If Gloria is wanting to test how different kinds of wheels accelerate down a ramp, then she is manipulating the type of wheel to measure a change in the acceleration of the wheel.
The acceleration (measured value) is thus the dependent variable since it depends on what type of wheel you roll down the ramp.
The type of wheel (what you determine) is thus the independent variable since it is what you are manipulating to observe changes in acceleration.
