MA's a Rate

new words by R. M. Panoff

Tune: Amazing Grace

m a's a rate. How sweet, it's sound
For constant a's like g.
No ounce is lost if V is found
Quite small compared to c.

m a's your force if you're a Rock,
But not in rocketry.
You'll need the full dp/dt:
Add dm/dt times V.

When Euler's used 10,000 times
For masses near the sun
We know the roundoff error climbs
Each time a time step's done.

m a's a rate. How sweet, it's sound
For constant a's like g.
No ounce is lost if V is found
Quite small compared to c.
