Abstract
We study the motion of a massive particle in a quenched random environment at zero temperature. The distribution of particle positions is investigated numerically and special focus is placed on the mean stopping distance and its fluctuations. We apply a scaling analysis in order to obtain analytical information about the distribution function. The model serves as a simple example of transport in a random medium.
