What kind of simple machine is a wedge?

Answer 1

A wheel and axle, an inclined plane, and a lever! :D

Answer 2

The Wedge is a device that tapers to a thin edge, usually made of metal or wood, and used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, such as to secure a hammer head onto its handle.

The wedge is considered one of the five simple machines. Wedges have been used since prehistoric times to split logs and rocks; for rocks, wooden wedges, caused to swell by wetting, have been used. In terms of its mechanical function, the screw may be thought of as a wedge wrapped around a cylinder.

Answer 3

*Sigh*

The answer to your question is that your question has no answer. It is a complex machine. The most correct answer is wheel and axel.

However, since it involves many simple machines it is a complex machine and therefore the question is difficult to answer.

Answer 4

We can assume that a car is a wheel and axle (may possibly be a pulley), if looking at the type of simple machine, but the car in itself is NOT a simple machine. It is considered to be a compound machine, made up of most, if not all of the six types of simple machines: pulley (belt system), inclined plane (pedal), screw (screws all over the car), wedge (, wheel and axle, and lever (gear shift).
