This may be considered a homework question but it does not fit the template. Please bear with me.
For my final grade in my physics class, I have to explain an actual phenomenon or example where physics is seen in the real world, and I decided to choose the physics of piercings, since I am interested in body modifications. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find much and what I did find was incredibly vague and lacked actual scientific explanations.
I was able to figure out that the concepts of force and maybe projectiles are involved (if a gun is used) but I have not gotten much more than that. I know that angles are involved as well because you cannot simply force a needle into someone, like a pushpin, but they are either tilted up or down.
Is there anything I am missing or can say about piercings? My presentation has to be very descriptive and must have a concrete connection to physics. Any contributions would be helpful
