The program randomly selects a position within the boxes. If the jump will be sufficient to move the bean, the flight of the bean is shown. The position where the bean will land is completely determined by its initial position, the direction and initial velocity of the jump. Some will cross the barrier to the other side.
Counters display the numbers of beans in the left and right compartments.
Eventually, some will start to jump back to the original side. The height of the box on the left may be adjusted with the blue triangle, and the height of the barrier may be adjusted with the violet triangle. The location of the barrier may also be adjusted with the violet triangle. The relative areas of the two compartments are shown. This slope may be considered as a rate constant IF the areas of the boxes are always the same .
