Reflection from a Potential Well and from a Potential Barrier
Physics Teacher, v60 n5 p348-350 May 2022
A classical mechanical structure with an internal degree of freedom is shown to reflect off a potential well. Such behavior is impossible for point-like or rigid classical particles. This numerical study provides insight for students studying internal energy and degrees of freedom.
