lyrics

If I was drifting in outer space
No gravity keeping me in place
Well I could move at a constant pace
I’d be in motion

But if I was acted on by a force
It could change my speed and alter my course
And I would do the same to them in reverse
I’d be in motion


We are in motion
Standing on a planet that’s in motion
Moving round a star that’s in motion
Part of a galaxy in motion
We are in motion
And if you’re moving to the left
Or moving to the right
If you’re sleeping in your bed
Or if you’re dancing all night
We are in motion
Part of a Universe in motion

If you knew my trajectory
And you could measure my velocity
Well you could calculate where I’ll be

Motion is change in position over time
If I’m going fast, my velocity is high, but
If it looks like I am standing still to your eye


A body in motion will tend to stay in motion
A body at rest will tend to stay at rest

Force is equal to the mass of a body
Multiplied by the acceleration of the body

When a body exerts a force on another body
The other body exerts the same force in the opposite direction
