Mass, Momentum and Force
A song about mass, momentum, and force - fundamental physics concepts explained through everyday examples
Carry your backpack to school each day
Empty it's light, books make it weigh
Mass is the matter that fills up space
More stuff inside means a heavier case
Mass is how much matter stuff is there
Momentum's mass times speed we share
Force makes things start or stop
Push and pull makes objects hop!
Try to stop a shopping cart
Empty one is easy, that's the start
But fill it up with food and more
Now it's harder than before
Mass is how much matter stuff is there
Momentum's mass times speed we share
Force makes things start or stop
Push and pull until you drop!
Push your friend upon the swing
Gentle push, a little thing
Push much harder, watch them soar
Force is what makes motion more
Mass is how much matter stuff is there
Momentum's mass times speed we share
Force makes things start or stop
Push and pull until you drop!
Throw a big ball across the gym
Heavy and fast, not on a whim
It crashes into the wall and booms
Momentum fills up the whole room
Mass is how much matter stuff is there
Momentum's mass times speed we share
Force makes things start or stop
Push and pull makes objects hop!
