[Intro]
\nThe drag physics rag
\nMass times velocity
\n(Don’t forget the density!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nFlow forces scale
\n(Aware of the square)
\nForces never fail
\n(There! Became aware)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe drag physics rag<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMass times velocity
\n(Don’t forget the density!)
\nOh, once you feel the flow
\n(You’ll be the first to know)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe rain will reign
\n(The winds will wail)
\nSkulls feel the pain
\n(… landslides prevail)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOhh, and the damn dams fail!
\n(The drag physics rag)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMass times velocity
\n(Don’t forget the density!)
\nOh, once you feel the flow
\n(You’ll be the first to know)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nMass times velocity
\n(Don’t forget the density!)
\nOh, once you feel the flow
\n(You’ll be the first to know)
\nThe veracity (and tenacity)
\nOf instant karma intensity
\n(The man show:)
\nFeel the flow
\n(There ya go!)
\nBuy (bye-bye)
\nBy-and-by
\n(bye-bye)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThe drag physics rag
\n(Don’t be left holding the bag)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SCIENCE: Violent Rain<\/b><\/a>
\nOne physical result of warming is the formation of larger raindrops, as well as an increase in the number of raindrops falling per square foot. Momentum of Rain<\/strong><\/a> is defined by the equation p = mv (where p = momentum, m = mass, and v = velocity). Mass and velocity are part of a larger equation that includes density<\/strong>. Together, these variables increase the intensity of flow forces<\/strong> (flow dynamics). Wind and water flow forces scale with the square of velocity<\/strong> (v\u00b2). As flow speeds increase — due to heavier rain or more intense heating — damage scales as the square of that increase.<\/p>\n

According to drag physics<\/strong>, force is proportional to density multiplied by the square of velocity (v\u00b2). For example:<\/p>\n
