How are an inclined plane and wedge alike?
Both an inclined plane and a wedge are simple machines that reduce the amount of force needed to move an object by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. The main difference is that an inclined plane is usually a flat surface that is angled, while a wedge is two inclined planes placed back to back.
Are the wedge and inclined plane the same thing?
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.
What two simple machines are part of an axe?
A wedge and a lever.
Why is a wedge a form of inclined plane?
Lay the wedge down and look at it. Sure enuff it is an inclined plane!
Is a wedge like an inclined plane?
Yes a wedge is an incline plane.
How is a wedge different from and inclined plane?
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
How is a inclined plane and a wedge different?

Which machines belong to the inclined plane family?
inclined plane wedge and the screw
How are a wedge and a inclined plane different?
A wedge is used to 'push' something apart such as wood. An inclined plane is basically a ramp.
How is a wedge related to inclined plane?
They both have a sloping side. A wedge has 2 sloping sides, but an inclined plane has only1.
Explain how a wedge and a screw are related to the inclined plane?
A wedge is a type of inclined plane that has two inclined surfaces meeting at a sharp edge. The screw is a type of inclined plane wrapped around a cylindrical shaft. Both the wedge and the screw utilize the principle of an inclined plane to multiply force and make it easier to perform tasks like splitting wood with a wedge or holding materials together with a screw.
