 To determine if such a defense mechanism is feasible, Dr. Hodge requires that you determine how the steel block will move and with what speed it could be expected to strike boar tigers.
+====== Project 14: Part B: Showdown at boar tiger corral ======
+After the epic showdown, the leaders of the boar tiger defense team decide to commission the development of an arcade game simulating the battle.  The head of the development team, Boris Grishenko (Борис Грищенко), recently resigned.  He leaves for you a partially completed section of code which aims to <wrap caution>show the paths that the cannonball and block trace out in time.</wrap>  Pick up where he left off.

+To make things more exciting, the defense team requests that:
+  * the cannonball can be shot with a muzzle velocity of $v=1600\,{\rm m/s}$
+  * the mass of the cannonball be increased to $m_{\rm ball}=400\,{\rm kg}$
+  * the mass of the block be fixed at $m_{\rm block}=1700 {kg}$
+  * the cannonball can only strike the block perpendicularly
+While you are at it, <wrap caution>generate a plot of the total energy before and after the collision.</wrap>  This plot will help to determine how many points are gained/lost in the arcade game.
