The constant variable in Dora's marble down a ramp experiment is the total energy of the marble. When the marble is at the highest point, it's potentinal energy is the most significant, as the marble rolls down, it increases it's kinetic energy and decreases it's potential energy at the same rate, maintaining the same total energy all across the path.
