Fumes

Today, in effort to continue my hip-hop education, I was listening to another of the CDs given to me by my friend Jesse...

One of the songs had an audio clip (I'm sure I'm showing my lack of music-knowledge using that term) of a man's voice reciting the Newton's first law of motion:
A physical body will remain at rest, or continue to move at a constant velocity,
unless a
net force acts upon it.

The song's version:
An object at rest tends to remain at rest
And an object in motion tends to remain in motion


So, I was interested...
I couldn't name his other two laws...can you?

Here they are:
2. The net force on a body is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration.
3. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Wow. I love gaining knowledge.
