Here is an acceleration-time history that will cause the mass to fall to each end of the slot along the X axis.

t (s)        ax(m/s^2)
0.0            -9.81
1.0            -9.81
1.00001     9.81
2.0             9.81
2.00001    -9.81
3.0            -9.81
3.00001     9.81
4.0             9.81
...               ...

this shows the first four impacts.
