The Newtons2nd object is used to illustrate the RungeKutta (RK) and DormandPrince
(DP) ODE solvers by applying them to Newton's Second Law of Motion, f = ma = -gm.
The flight of a golf ball is simulated from impact until the ball hits the
ground. Note, a more realistic simulation would take additional forces into
account: drag, lift and spin.

The accurracies of RK and DP versus the exact solution (EX) are compared.
