Work From Home (Physics Version) | A Capella Science

Tim and Nate go head to head in a Fifth Harmony science vs. fitness battle! Who will do more work, Nate's muscles or Tim's simple machines?? Only an a cappella extravaganza is worthy of such a tale... ------------------ Want to work out you're too much of a nerdy weakling like me? Simple machines are the answer to your problems! Want to do the same amount of work with only a third the force? Thanks to work-energy conservation, all you gotta do is go three times the distance! Armed with these principles, I set out to the nearest registered MMA gym to go head to head with the toughest guy around, Nate Perl. My science and engineering prowess vs. his brute strength. Who shall triumph?? Well, me obviously... my secret weapon being sweet five-part a cappella and the wit of a few good puns. You'll never listen to Fifth Harmony's "Work from Home" the same way again! ----LYRICS---- I ain't working out never I ain't getting no stronger I'm trading force for displacement Multiply and conquer Break out that lever I'ma make it longer Get that mechanic advantage And I won't get tired You know I always hoped I might lift But I can't budge these weights alone I need an incomplex contraption To boost the force and lift the load You ain't gotta feel the work (work work work work work work) But you gotta put in work (work work work work work work) Equal power equal work (work work work work work work) Levers yeah that's how they work (work work work work work work) Putting work to load Tryna figure out the tension? Look at Newton's laws of motion Counteracting one force with two ropes So you gotta take a quotient Spread the work out broadly You can lift a heavy body With the displacement replacing the force Ain't no need to be burly I know you bros out there you might lift Without a fulcrum, ramp or rope But I'ma use that work equation (work-energy conservation) Reduce the forces on a slope You ain't gotta feel the work (work work work work work work) But you gotta put in work (work work work work work work) Force and distance make it work (work work work work work work) Ramps and pulleys yeah they work (work work work work work work) Putting work to load Oh yeah Bro can you lift for me Zero delta-x, hold there for me Ain't no work now; figure that for me When he still putting out energy Actin binding repeatedly He running through that ATP Muscle tension's costly Motor proteins throwing off heat Woah So we think Push or pull Take some power as a rule Well surprise, that ain't true! Just a force don't need jack But of course you'd think that Spending all your time in your body Yeah you gotta work that load Yeah you gotta put in work Copyright 2016 Tim Blais and A Capella Science ---------------- SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: http://www.patreon.com/acapellascience MP3: https://timblais.bandcamp.com/track/f-x-cos-from-home POSTER: https://store.dftba.com/products/bohemian-gravity-poster Nate's YouTube: http://youtube.com/theNatesWay
