In science, a wedge is a simple machine that consists of a piece of material with a pointed edge, used to separate or lift objects. It converts a force applied to its thicker end into a greater force exerted at the thinner edge, making it easier to split, lift, or hold materials together. Wedges are commonly found in tools like knives, axes, and doorstops. They demonstrate the principles of mechanical advantage by amplifying force over distance.
