Analysis of Common hand tools
Introduction-
In my physics class while learning about simple machines and their ideal and actual mechanical advantages we were asked to d a study of common hand tools and find their IMA's and AMA's. I found this be very helpful was a quick and simple way to solidify the knowledge. worked with fellow students and chose to do needle nose pliers, and wire cutters. I really enjoyed this project and felt it was a great representation to real world application of physics, this is why I chose to include it in my portfolio.
Justification-
I really learned a lot from this project. It helped me fully understand how physics relates to the real world in ways we don't usually think about. I also learned how to apply IMA And AMA to the objects i use almost on a daily basis. I really feel like i know have a deeper understanding of IMA and AMA. Working with students also helped build my ability to work with others. understanding how to relate problems to the real world will help me in my future.
