Back: Door with deadbolt
Next: Heap of objects.
F.1:
A block dropped on the floor comes to rest soon after first impact
at some distance from point of first impact.
Full dynamics, deterministic, prediction.
F.2: Expected distance increases with original height, elasticity of block, roundness of block, tilt of floor. Full dynamics, comparative probability, prediction.
F.3. If a block is in a weakly stable position on the floor, and then
is lifted slightly and dropped, it will probably resume the same position.
The greater the distance that it is lifted, the more likely that
it will settle in some more strongly stable position.
Full dynamics, comparative probability, prediction.
