[Intro]
Is it what I ate?
(Or nine point 8)
Meters per second squared
(I’m there)
Pulling me down
(Pound per pound)

[Bridge]
(Explanation:)
Acceleration
(Moving while I’m standing still)
Still…
Moving (velocity due to gravity)
Moving me

[Chorus]
Is it what I ate?
(Or nine point 8)
Meters per second squared
(I’m there)
Pulling me down
(Pound per pound)

[Verse]
Distance (divided by)
(Dividing velocity by time)
Seconds squared (thought it rare)
Now! I’m right there.

[Bridge]
(Explanation:)
Acceleration
(Moving while I’m standing still)
Still…
Moving (velocity due to gravity)
Moving me

[Chorus]
Is it what I ate?
(Or nine point 8)
Meters per second squared
(I’m there)
Pulling me down
(Pound per pound)
Down, down, down
(Pound per pound)

[Outro]
Pulling me down
(Pound per pound)
Down, down, down
(Pound per pound)

A SCIENCE NOTE

Weight

• Definition: Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.
• Properties:
  • It is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction, pointing toward the center of the gravitational source).
  • Weight depends on the gravitational field strength, so it changes based on location.
  • Measured in newtons (N) in the SI system.
  • Calculated using the formula: W=m⋅g 
  • Where:
    • $W$ is weight.
    • $m$ is mass.
    • $g$ is the gravitational acceleration (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth).
    • The “s” in 9.8 m/s2 stands for seconds, and the unit as a whole—meters per second squared (m/s²)—represents acceleration.
      

      Explanation of m/s2

      • m: Stands for meters, a unit of distance.
      • s2: Refers to seconds squared, which comes from dividing velocity (meters per second, or m/s) by time (seconds, or s).
