How a wedge changes a input force?
A Wedge changes an input force by a change when a mechanical advantage increases as it becomes longer and thinner.
How does a wedge change input force?
the wood can help
Does the wedge multiply force?
True.
How does a wedge work?
A wedge is used to take advantage of the fact that work done = force x distance.Simply put if you need to force two points apart a wedge allows you to use less force by moving a greater distance.If you knock a wedge into a piece of material by 10cms in order to widen the gap by 2cms it will take one fifth of the force to achieve this.If you think of a screw as being a nail with a very long wedge wrapped around it, you can force this into a solid piece of wood with one hand simply by taking advantage of the mechanical advantage that this wedge provides.
How is a wedge like an inclined plane?
They are both used to do work perpendicular to the applied force. When an object moves horizontally on an inclined plane, it also moves up. The same principle works with a wedge. An axe head is an example of a wedge. Let's say an axe is swung into a piece of firewood. It is driven down into the firewood, but the wedged shape of an axe causes the wood to split apart towards the side.
Find or reach a chisel. Describe why it is a wedge and how it works. 3-5 sentences total?
A chisel is a type of machine called a wedge. A wedge is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and a thick end. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the sloping sides of the wedge apply force to the object, cutting/splitting it apart. A wedge makes work easier by increasing the force applied to the object, although it applies the force over a shorter distance. Another example of a wedge is a hammer.
Does a wedge change the direction of the force?
when it changes its direction
How a wedge changes a input force?
A Wedge changes an input force by a change when a mechanical advantage increases as it becomes longer and thinner.

How does a wedge change an input force?
A change can happen when a mechanical advantage increases as it becomes longer and thinner.
How does a wedge help you?
A wedge is a simple machine that helps to split, lift, or separate objects by applying force to a narrow edge. It converts a force applied to the wide end into a greater force at the narrow end. This makes it easier to perform tasks such as splitting wood, cutting food, or holding objects in place.
That kid has bad spelling?
Theoretically, wedge is a simple machine that is used to offer mechanical advantage. The force normal to inclined surfaces of wedge is much greater(depending on angle of wedge) than force applied to the short side. This is exploited in axes and various other tools. ALL OF THIS IS WRONG!q!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASK YUR TEECHAR
Does a machine magnify the force that you exert?
Absolutely. four of the most basic machines do exactly that. A lever increases the force you exert by how close the fulcrum is to the object being move, and how far the applied force is away from the fulcrum. A screw transfers rotational force (torque) to a lifting force, and increases that force based on the pitch of the threads. A wedge increases lifting force based upon the pitch of the wedge from horizontal. A pulley, when using more than one, will increase the applied force, on an order of magnitude equal to the number of pulleys used. **Note: the total work applied equals the total work transmitted less friction. The force applied times the acceleration equals the work, the machines reduce the acceleration to increase the force transmitted.
What is the relationship between the wedge length and the force required to use it?
The relationship between the two is, the bigger the wedge, the less force you need and the smaller the wedge, the more force you need.
How a wedge changes an input force.?
A change can happen when a mechanical advantage increases as it becomes longer and thinner.
A fork would be an example of what type of simple machine?
It's a lever, where the fulcrum is at the same location as the driving force (i.e. your hand on the handle). Thus it is a first class lever, since the force applied is on the other side of the fulcrum from the load.
What is needed of wedge?
It should first of all be stronger than the material it is used on. Or, to be more precise, more resistant. Then it has to have a wedge effect (one end narrower and the other one wider). And last but not least, it needs force to drive it in the material to be separated. The force is applied by pushing, kicking, pounding etc.
