How can I simulate a rigid sword bounced from a wall and hit the ground (like in physical world)?

I want to use this for a simple animation. I can detect the figure and the size of the sword (maybe needed in doing bounce). Rotation can be controlled by quaternions/matrix/euler angles. It should turn the head and do rotations and fly to the ground.

How can I simulate this physical process?

Maybe what I need is an equation and some parameters?

I need these data, and would combine them into my movie file, I use Mathematica to do the thing that generate the movie file(If I have the data, I can also export it into a 3DSMax script for example).
