Popis:	The article considers Chaplygin sleigh on a plane in potential well, assuming that an external potential force is supplied at the mass center. Two particular cases are studied in some detail, namely, a one-dimensional potential valley and a potential with rotational symmetry; in both cases the models reduce to four-dimensional differential equations conserving mechanical energy. Assuming the potential functions quadratic, various behaviors are observed numerically depending of the energy, from those characteristic to conservative dynamics (regularity islands and chaotic sea) to strange attractors. This is another example of nonholonomic system manifesting these phenomena (similar to those for Celtic stone or Chaplygin top), which reflects a fundamental nature of these systems occupying intermediate position between conservative and dissipative dynamics. Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures
