Abstract
In this paper, the familiar problems of free-fall motion and simple harmonic motion (SHM) are combined. The novel composite system passes from regular to chaotic behavior for increasing values of energy . This system is a suitable example to introduce undergraduates to some of the concepts of dynamical chaos theory.
