Lyrics for Vertical Motion: 

[guitar chords for intro/chorus E B - G

for verse/bridge: ]

Vertical Motion, Vertical Motion.

Any time you're in the air, vertical motion

Vertical Motion, Vertical Motion.

-9.8's your acceleration

You know that it's the same whether you jump, are launched, or you drop 

Your speed is probably zero when you're at the very top.

Vertical Motion, Vertical Motion.

Any time you're in the air, vertical motion

Vertical Motion, Vertical Motion.

-9.8's your acceleration

Constant Velocity: 

[Guitar chords for intro/chorus: D A G - D A G - D A G - D (stop)

for verse/bridge: Bm - G A]

"Constant Velocity" - 

Like winning the lottery!

Physics answers for free.

Constant Velocity!

Teacher teaching some Physics course

Asks you to solve for all the forces

Acting on some stupid object

I need an easy way to solve it!!

"Constant Velocity" - 

Like winning the lottery!

Physics answers for free.

Constant Velocity!

Solving this problem won't take much talent, 

Constant velocity means forces are balanced

There's no net force, acceleration is zero,

You've just become a Physics hero.

"Constant Velocity" - 

Like winning the lottery!

Physics answers for free.

Constant Velocity!

Still Attracted to you: 

[Guitar chords for intro: E F, E F, G

Verse: C G Am F - except last line before first chorus ends in Em

Chorus: C G Am Em F]

I got a new apartment. I needed somewhere to put my trash.

So, I headed down to Walmart. That's where you caught my eye real fast.

The sight of your straight clean lines, your brand new plastic smell.

You were my trash can destiny and I knew it would work out swell. 

Now I'm still attracted to you, and there's nothing that I can do. 

It's a universal law, and it's governing us all.

It's based on our masses and the space in between us, 

the more trash you hold the more I feel the genius

Of this perfect destiny that's made up of you and me . . . 

and I'm still attracted to you. 

Don't ride my case, I know things aren't the way they were before. 

The honeymoon is over; don't blame me if I don't want to take you out anymore. 

It's only natural - we need to separate so I can work and be with my friends 

and the more distance between us the more it makes our attraction grows thin. 

But I'm still attracted to you, and there's nothing that I can do. 

It's a universal law, and it's governing us all.

It's based on our masses and the space in between us, 

So I can run away and hide myself on Venus

No matter how I try to hide it, in the end I can't deny it . . . 

I'm still attracted to you. Whoa.

I'm still attracted to you. 

I'm still attracted to you. 

Viscosity: 

There are properties of matter you really got to know

Like density and buoyancy, that melting point of snow.

Viscosity's going up while them liquids going slow

You might say I'm viscous 'cause I really can't flow. 

Just cause I'm viscous, don't try to diss this,

'cause I'm reading all of your moves like a meniscus

I see you mocking me just cause you don't believe

when I cut you in half you'll see you're density stays the same. 

Stays the same

Everything is Physics: 

              F C             F            C

Everything is Physics!    Momentum, charge and energy!

              Bb         C                       Dm

Everything is Physics!    Solving problems in our dreams!

Bb                              Dm

Everything is made of charges that hold us together

Bb                                              C

Positive inside, negative outside, in balance forever. in balance forever

C#                                                C

F-rces the same, I pull you, you pull me, Newton’s 3rd law harmony

              G D             G            D

Everything is Physics!    Momentum, charge and energy!

              C         D                       Em

Everything is Physics!    Solving problems in our dreams!

3, 2, 1, Go

I pop the question “What’s better than Physics?”

No one’s talkin’; all I hear are crickets.

Need a job, try engineering!

Design the future; everyone is cheerin’

I do more Physics than Stephen Hawkin’

Draw free bodies like no one’s watchin’

Net force equations help in problem solvin’

Newton’s laws poppin’, Physics sure is awesome!

[Em]

Force time D changes energy,

  [D]

If energy is gained, something else must lose (somethin’ else must lose)

(repeat %_____ Prechorus & Chorus ----%)

              G D             G            D

Everything is Physics!    Momentum, charge and energy!

              C         D                       Em

Everything is Physics!    Solving problems in our dreams!

G           C                  Em

Blue skies, bouncy springs     We just named 2 Physics things!

A Nobel prize, tension in a string . You know what's Physics? Everything!

Rotating things, A big trapeze     Friction scraping up our knees

Band instruments, college credit test, AP Physics is the best!

Balls, falls, cell calls . . . They’re Physics!

Rocks, clocks, and socks . . . They’re Physics!

Cars, stars, guitars . . . They’re Physics!

Everything you see, or do, or play . . . Is Physics!

3 Carbons Make Propane

With just a spark you produce a flame

3 carbons make propane. 

Add one more and you've got butane, 

but 3 carbons make propane. 

Heat Transfer

When an object heats up its particles move

Much faster than when it's cool. 

And it's gaining kinetic energy

And when that particle bumps into another

they share their energy just like they were brothers

and you've got conduction transferring heat. 

Chorus: 

Which method of heat transfer is going on?

Conduction, convection, or radiation?

Now if you try to heat a fluid like air or water

particles don't share energy as the fluid gets hotter

Instead they just move around

Hot stuff rises as the cool sinks

The heat spreads out faster than you think

As convection currents flow

Chorus

Remember how we said heat makes particles shake?

The vibrations cause some energy to radiate

A - a- as electromagnetic waves

Radiating heat flows even through empty space

Infrared is how the predator can see your face even when it's really dark

Chorus

Thanks, Faraday!

“Unreal” is how I feel about it, When I think of electromagnetism.
Tell me, How’s a motor like a generator and Why do speakers need a magnet, again? 

In the 1820’s Faraday saw compass spin Because a current in a wire turned the compass ‘til they turned the current off again.
And the reason he gave was magnetic fields, but They said, “He don’t know what he’s sayin,” until Maxwell did the math

Yeah, Faraday was a genius, scientist who found the way,
A magnetic change can cause a voltage,
That will make current flow. Thanks, Faraday!

Induction time:

Ooh, induction is really something else! Magnetic fields make the compass sway.

They said, “He don’t, he don’t know what he’s sayin,” until Maxwell did the math

Yeah, Faraday was a genius, scientist who found the way,
A magnetic change can cause a voltage,
That will make current flow. Thanks, Faraday!
Thanks, Faraday!
