As you may know, the equation for gravitational potential energy is mgh (weight x height)
If the skateboard is halfway down, that means it is at half the height. As the skateboard speeds up (as it goes downward), the potential energy becomes kinetic energy. Since it has 500J of kinetic energy at half way down, it means it had double that amount of Potential energy at the top (1000J). Since half of that became kinetic energy, there is only 500J of PE left.
Answer:It shows the size of the range of the moisture contents at which the soil remains plastic. In general, the plasticity index depends only on the amount of clay present. It indicates the fineness of the soil and its capacity to change shape without altering its volume.
Your variables would be varied temperature while your constants should be everything else (water, soil, proximity). Therefore, you can test for one variable (temperature difference) without muddling the results
