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.
An inclined plane is a type of simple machine. Wedge is an example, a screw is another.
A wedge is really just an inclined plane. That's about it.A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
A wedge (EX:a ramp) has an inclined plane as one of its faces.
They both have a sloping side. A wedge has 2 sloping sides, but an inclined plane has only1.
A wedge has two inclined planes back-to-back that are not at a right angle
Yes a wedge is an incline plane.
While a wedge and an inclined plane are not the same things, a wedge is a type of inclined plane. However, not all inclined planes are considered to be wedges.
A wedge and a lever.
Lay the wedge down and look at it. Sure enuff it is an inclined plane!
