SinuBouncingBall

This page contains an applet that should appear as a separate window.

This model models a 3-D ball bouncing on a sinusoidal surface. Double-click the right yellow block for a graphic view. The ball collides with the surface and bounces with some energy loss, which is specified by the lambda parameter. The bouncing direction depends on the slope of the surface. There is no extra force except the gravity force applied on the ball. This model is a Zeno model. We use two states for pre-Zeno and post-Zeno dynamics respectively.
