On the moon and in space There's no atmosphere in place To slow stuff when dropped or thrown And gravity acts alone To speed of obb-jects change And directions rearrange As things closely pass Anything of ample mass [Break] Satellites are gravity bound To the body they go around Our moon is such a case Trapped in Earth's embrace [Break] And if there is no slowing It will keep orbiting Instead of crashing into us Which here would cause quite the fuss [Break] And should its speed increase Its orbiting may well cease For with enough energy Our moon could break free [Break] Forces can change speed And direction too But comes no other force in play A thing will keep its pace and way First Law of Motion, see? As Sir Isaac did decree [Break] But let's come back to ground Where forces still abound There's many we manipulate As our daily needs dictate [Break] Take the driving of a car So we may go fast and far Fuel to thermal to kinetic Energy, moves vehicles, quick [Break] Friction helps control our steer And makes tyres to roads adhere Newton's laws at work each day As we drive and steer our way [Break] Or when playing sports On pitches and on courts Balls we throw and kick and hit With hands and feet and rakkitt [Break] If strength and angle are judged right To goal or point is our ball's flight Force and motion intertwine To make our sports skills shine [Break] Forces can change speed And direction too But comes no other force in play A thing will keep its pace and way First Law of Motion, see?
