P05 - Classical Forces

A Classical Force is a push or pull It’s measured in newtons, capital N They can change the shape of stuff Slow then speed things up again [Break] It takes one newton to uplift An apple, here on Planet Earth And combine force and distance To get a thing we call “Work” [Break] Why an apple, you ask? Have you not heard the story? It fell on Newton's head, it’s said And now his name we glory [Break] But to a finer point They’re around one hundred grams And that specific mass is More pertinent than fruit or man [Break] As long as gravity, and Raised direction doesn't shift One newton stays the force to Grams one hundred straight up lift [Break] A Classical Force is a push or pull It’s measured in newtons, capital N They can change the shape of stuff Slow then speed things up again [Break] Force meters measure needed force They help us quantify with ease To them fix an obb-ject, then Watch their spring stretch or squeeze [Break] Now, force arrows on charts show Direction that forces go And the larger that the force Longer arrow is drawn, of course [Break] And upon the same obb-ject Opposite arrows there can be From larger minus smaller number Net force heading find easily [Break] A Classical Force is a push or pull It’s measured in newtons, capital N They can change the shape of stuff Slow then speed things up again
