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
What else can I help you with?
Is a wedge like an inclined plane?
Yes a wedge is an incline plane.
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.
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.
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!
How is a wedge different from and inclined plane?
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.

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.
Which machines belong to the inclined plane family?
inclined plane wedge and the screw
